This one goes to the Kids! Two years is a lot of time...and, Ane and her friend see each other every week! Besides, who wants to sit around with a bunch of stuffy adults when you can run around in a park with fresh air and lots of little ones that need to burn off the sugar and koolaid high! Just watch out for Tad's boo-boo! Nobody needs more of that! Have some kid fun! Ok! This one goes to the Kids!

Two years of no contact and you get invited to a party? I don't think it's out of line to say your very happy to hear from her but unfortunately you have plans that day. Offer to connect with her on another weekend. Good luck! I’m going to vote for the kids party too.

You know that both kids will be welcome and have a great time at a two-year-old party, plus it's at a park you all are familiar with so the kids will know your boundaries. It's nice to hear from Bridesmaid, but two years then "come celebrate me!" is kind of lame. Use this opportunity to re-open communication (via email/calling to let her know you can't come) and get the scoop on what's going on with her, but know that trying to reestablish contact might not go anywhere. I empathize on the weirdness factor. I reestablished contact with a high school friend, after no contact in three and a half years. I saw her once, and haven't heard back from her (I have sent pictures and emails) in over a year. She is not married, is a school teacher (so contact during the school year isn't expected), still lives with her parents, and has no kids. Sometimes we outgrow old friends.
