Hi there - on the B/D meal invite - IMO - you should ramp it up just a little - how would it play if you said "W, I'd really like it if you'd come along with D11 and me for my birthday meal"
Rather than just toss the invite out as a take it or leave it option...

Brian, I think this is a good idea. I think it will show her that you still care. She said that was important to her.
Don't beg her, but let her know that you would really like her to go. If she says no, then go have a good time with D's.
