I went. I was quiet. I blamed it on the baby and being tired. It was easier than just being a brat and not going. "A" did not go. I was just annoyed by the drama and the lunch was already ruined for me. I went to be nice. It was awkward. That made me happy. :P

So did it end up that the whole team including "A" was there? Yeah, things are never easy when someone is afraid of leaving others out...
I think it was probably better that you went. I still think it is silly that people were so concerned about inviting everyone...
Glad "A" did not go, and I'm glad for you that it was awkward. Unfortunately, my prediction is that the rest of the team, or at least the person(s) who decided that everyone should be invited, probably hasn't learned their lesson.
I think it's hilarious it made you happy because it was awkward. You're so sinister (is that the word I'm looking for?).
I'm glad, though, that you went. Was "A" the only one not to show up?
I know what it's like to not be included. Even though YOUR intentions weren't to exclude people, that you wanted just a group of friends, but, that's not what it feels like to the excluded - they feel like you don't like them and you were inviting everyone except them (yes. so HS. but even grown ups feel this way). I feel really awkward when, in planning an event, someone mentions, let's invite so and so. And an organizer firmly says no. That's uncomfortable, too.
That being said, I often forget about people. Oops!
