You could casually bring up the birthday party in a conversation. Maybe your invitation got lost in the mail. If not and she said she didn't invite your son you could politlely ask for a reason why. I would think this is a close group since there is only five of you. i think it's always best to ask first and assume later.

I was in this same situation with my moms group. My son wasnt invited because he was too young at the time to attend the party the other mom was throwing...it was geared to older kids. I would let it go and see how things progress. Its possible the invitation got misplaced. If you are comfortable with it, bring up a conversation with the moms including the one throwing the party, and ask what theme she is doing, and what kinds of toys/clothes the 2 year old is interested in, and what day the party is. This can help break some tension and might make the other mother realize that you didnt recieve an invite if she sent one. Either way, dont feel too bad.

If people are talking about the party, I'd just casually mention that you didn't know anything about it because you didn't get an invitation...and then move on. If it got lost in the mail, the others will mention something to the one having the party and she can call and invite you if that happened. If she didn't send one, then nothing will be said.
I don't think I'd confront her. Just let it slide. Mabye she doesn't know you as well as the others? Try not to let hit "harm" your group.
After the party if they are talking about it, just let them know you didn't go because you weren't invited. Don't say it mean, just state the fact. With the next one, I'm sure there will be an invitation because you "rose above" the situation and didn't put up a "stink".

I would just forget about it. Bringing it up could make it awkward for you and the other mother. Do you really want to go to a two year olds birthday party anyway? Instead of going to the party and buying a gift for this other child, take your son and get him a new toy. When your son's birthday comes around invite the other child, its not his fault his mother is rude.

I wouldn't mention it, although when people are talking about it after the party you can mention not being invited. That was really rude of the boys mom to not invite you, I would definately let her know your feelings were hurt.

Honestly, I would forget about it because there probably is a reason for the no invitation. It is not worth starting and argument over.

I would just forget about it hun.
Some people are stuck up in their opinions and you don't need people like that in your life.
Enjoy your son and carry on the good work!

You should just forget about it. It's of no point confronting people over such trivial things.

ask her if it was a mistake or if there is some reason...
let her explain the reason and listen carefully
don't let it ruin the friendship in any case.
