What a day brings...

I don't get invited to much.  Now I'm not looking for a pity party here.  I'm just making a statement.  So today I was listening to one of my coworkers talk about her wedding and another was talking about what she was going to wear to her wedding and I thought a thought.  What makes someone "invitable"?  I don't even know if that is a word.  Invitable.  Are you invitable?  Do you get asked to join others in romps and events much?  I don't.  So, I am wondering what makes me an uninvited.  Is it because I don't really drink much?  Is it because of my age?  Is it because of some sort of glitch in my personality that makes me not desirable to have around?  I wonder if people consider me when they plan things.  "Hey, why don't I invite Janet?"  I don't think so. 
Maybe I don't extend enough of my own invitations to others to create the buzz that I may want to be invited and people assume that I don't want to be included.  Is that a stretch?  I even wonder if at my age it's silly to even think this way.  I mean does my life really need someone to invite me somewhere for me to be happy?  But we all know that as women it is uncomfortable when people plan things and leave out someone. 
So who have I done that to in the past?  Who have I excluded from my plans with others?  Did I consider how this person may feel by that action?  Did it matter to me? 
I may be more considerate about this now.
