you're throwing a small party that you didn't invite one of your friends to. the friend calls during the party and asks what you are doing. the friend can't tell what is happening on the other end of the line. do you tell your friend that you're having a party?

If I don't want them there, but don't want to spoil the friendship, I don't think I would. What would the point be?

I say that I'm talking to some friends and will call back later. The word "party" would send a "nyah, nyah" message that wouldn't really be accurate.

It would depend on why I didn't invite the friend ... I don't like parties myself, the only one (as such) I've ever put on was a birthday party for a five-year-old and I found it a nerve-wracking experience. I certainly didn't invite any of my friends to it & I would have been happy to tell them about it if they called in medias res!

Tell the friend I am throwing a business party (or whatever it is) and am engaged for the evening.
