i committed a social media faux pas could use some advice

Tiffany, on May 13, 2019 at 11:19 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
So I am a couple days away from rsvp date and posted asking about rsvp rates from friends about their own parties and weddings. It turned into a thread of “did you get my rsvp” comments.
an old friend who did not get an invite commented on that fact. Yes I know I shouldn’t have posted about anything related to that running that risk. Didn’t think that someone would say that as it’s not tactful(I know mine wasn’t either.)
looking for a tasteful way to tell her why she didn’t (or should I even respond?).
our friendship was as best friends before a large amount of drama and her longtime boyfriend hating me and refusing to allow her to see me (he’s abusive and I haven’t kept trying after several years to keep friendship alive.)
she was one I struggled on but given the tons of drama and such I decided against it.
any advice welcome. Thank you!

    I would explain that due to budget/ venue constraints you had to keep the guest list small and unfortunately had to cut people off that you would have appreciated to be there

    I would message her privately and just say that unfortunately due to budget/venue/whatever reason, you weren’t able to invite everyone.

    Message her privately and tell her the truth.

    I don't think you need to reply. It seems rude of her to bring up not getting an invite, especially since you don't see each other anymore. She could have seen the post and moved on, but instead she purposely tried to make it awkward.

    I had an ex-best friend comment on several of my (completely off the wall) wedding posts. I just never responded because it's simple - we're close = you get an invite. We're not = you don't. I'm not going to feel bad for not inviting those I'm not close with still.
