I’m making a bat mitzvah in a hall.
It’s going to be small because I’m trying to keep the cost down.
I live on a block with only 6 families.
I’m not particularly close with 2. For a chasuna I for sure invite them.
Do I really need to invite them?
Also my daughter is inviting some friends from the neighborhood, I know the parents but not friends with them do I need to invite them also? They have nothing to do with my circle of friends.

How big of a dent will it make if you invite the 6 neighbors? I would think that if you're inviting some you should invite all of them. It's a very small amount and it can foster sholom to invite them as a pose to fostering negativity if you only invite some and not all.
Mazel Tov and hatzlocha for a beautiful simcha!

Agree with ShishK. If you live on a busy block with twenty frum families and you invite eight or ten that's fine. If there are only six families on the block I wouldn't leave two out. In the end it's only four extra people and it's worth it not to take a chance with causing any bad feelings.

Agree with the other posters about neighbors. I don’t think you have to invite daughters friends parents that you have nothing to do with though.

Definitely invite the neighbors.
You don't want your Simchah to be the cause of hurting anyone!

I do not believe you ever need to invite people you don’t have much to do with.

If you are inviting 4 neighbors, invite the other 2.
OP does not have to invite the parents of DD's friends.

Agree. I didn't invite DS's friends' parents to his bar mitzvah. And I'm SO GLAD we weren't invited to his friends' parties either.
We love his friends but it would have been too much.
If you're inviting 4 out of 6 neighbors, I would just go ahead and invite the other 2 couples.
