Is it rude not to invite someone on your birthday? As a birthday celebrant, dont I deserve the right to be selective of the people I am to invite on my special day?

i think you are right because if you are the birthday person, you have every right to invite whom you want.

Grace beta It is your birthday, so you have every right to decide whom you invite and whom not, but if you don't invite near and dear ones, like me, some of them consider this as rude certainly, at least i will take things that way!!!! Here in my family, i invite not only my relatives, but also my friends and some ex-students.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor. . Cheers God bless you. Welcome always.

I believe it is quite alright to be selective, as this is your special day and you really do not want to have to share with certain people who perhaps will not share the same feelings about your special days and or perhaps not appreciate.

Hey it's your birthday and you have the right to be surrounded by people that you love and want to celebrate with. I don't think it is rude not to invite someone but I suppose it could be depending on who that person is and why are you worried about it being rude. The fact that you are here asking makes me think there is more to this story.

I believe you should have a right. I have experience that before where i did not get to choose who get an invitation so my friends were kinda upset, the ones who didnt get any that is.

It's not being rude. What if you really don't what certain people to be in your birthday celebration. Or what if the number of people are only limited and that you just can't invite certain friends. I don't invite a lot of friends on my birthday, i only invite the closes ones..

I think it's not. You have the prerogative who you would want to share your special day with. Some will be upset if they are not invited but they have to understand that it's your day and you have the right to decide on things that will make you happy. Good day!

You can call for your some close friends for a small party. You don't need to invite them.

If you have a birthday celebration like a party, you have all the right to invite people who you like to come along. But you see, in every party and gatherings, there will be and always will be an uninvited guest or should we say at worst those "gatecrashers". If you like to hold a strict birthday party where only invited people can come in, you need to provide V.I.P. invitation cards indicating how many seats are guaranteed for each invited person. You can also ask beforehand if your guest has a company or none when he or she comes and you will need to decide if you will give them seats reservation. And in the party place, you can tell somebody to man the gates or doors and check for invitation cards and people who enter along. If the party will be less formal like you just invite people, then more or less you have to expect that you will have uninvited guests. It is really difficult to control a crowd especially if the guests are already in your front door. You can not do almost anything when they are already there, the more humane way is just to let them in, nothing more....nothing less. Yes, it is indeed the one that we disagree but it is more of a good values just to let them in....Isn't it? Just enjoy and relax at your party... Don't let your fun at the party be spoiled by simple things. At the end of the day, you will still find out that it is indeed a great part... Have a good time!
