OK, I am not trying to crash a party here, but I am in a tough spot. I never saw this invitation but since everyone else got one, then I think that mine must have been misplaced or lost. The host was very casual about handing out the invites: tossing them on top of people's desks or in their overflowing inboxes. I have so much paper spinning around each day so it is very likely mine got buried in a file or tossed in a shredder. Or maybe not. Maybe I was not invited at all.
Anyway, what do I do now? If I ask the host, but it turns out I was not invited then I look like an idiot. If I do nothing but the host thinks I got an invitation, then I look rude for not RSVP'ing.
What do I do???

(By the way, silly Yahoo put this question in the cleaning and laundry catagory. I chose "Etiquette" but it defaulted back to this catagory after I fixed the spelling. Hey Yahoo - if you are listening, please fix this default bug. I just hope I get answers from this boring catagory)

Ask a co worker you trust to slyly say something like, "Hey did you invite so and so, I was thinking of car pooling and wanted to make sure they were invited before I asked." Or just ask, if you weren't invited you don't look like an idiot the host does. I am assuming you expected to be invited, why wouldn't you? If you aren't sure you were invited there must be a reason and if that's the case maybe you should just make other plans and if they say why didn't you RSVP then you can say I never go the invitation.

Talk to one of your good friends that was invited and have them casually bring it up to the host. This way you can get a solid answer---you don't put the host on the spot---and in the case you were not invited then you won't be a party- crasher. Do you and the host get along??? Has the person that is throwing the party spoke to you about the party? If so, chances are that you ARE invited. If this person was not planning on having you over---he/she may not want to bring it up in front of you. I wish you luck..and I hope you get the response you are looking for. try not to take it too personal if you are not invited.

Ask the host... in a non-chalant way or get someone else to ask.
Wouldn't it be better than just showing up when you weren't invited... or for being "rude" for not RSVP'ing..
Is there any reason you would NOT be invited?

Show up and have a "wardrobe malfunction"
