If they can't be bothered to send invites, you're likely an acquaintance at best. But if people enjoy having Facebook? That's fine. Most people invite me elsewhere if they want me there. Older school, perhaps, but it works.

My best friend is planning her hens do and she invited me only on Facebook and didn't reach out to me personally. Would you say she is an acquaintance at best?

You're intentionally ignoring the fact that you use Facebook. If she knew you didn't have one and just didn't invite you because typing in your number was too hard?

She'd be an asshole.
