Take your son to a movie, mini-golf, the batting cage, or bowling and make a day out of it that he'll remember.
Don't try to get him a pity-invite to a party he wasn't invited to. He and you will regret it in the long run
great advice -
Cannot imagine the thought of begging for an invite to anything at all.
And it is inconceivable I'd broadcast my concern about it.

Gen X parenting is completely ruining their children

That sucks. My son lost his friend group in middle school and it hurt him but it led him to producing music and it was ultimately a blessing.
He recently lost his girlfriend and that was difficult but after a couple weeks he’s better than ever.
Watching your kids hurt is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but it’s necessary for them to become adults.

Move on, take the kid to a movie or go on a hike or some other thing y’all can enjoy together.
Control what you can control and teach him the same lesson.

My heart breaks for your kid. Terrible. I truly am sorry.
But that’s life and a life lesson he can learn from. No, you don’t invite yourself to a party.
There’s a reason your son wasn’t invited.
What’s the reason? It could be anything from him being the problem in the way he treats the other kid or as simple as the other kid doesn’t know him well or even the parents could only afford paint ball for a certain number kids.

I see you're an Auburn fan.
Take him to an Auburn Hoops game.
Take him to Toomers for a shake.
Take him to the Auburn Raptor Center. (appt. only)
If you have a dog, take him to Kiesel Park.
If they are playing, take him to an Auburn baseball game.
Just do something meaningful with him.

Make it an issue and neither one of you will be invited to anything from now on.

That, or it very well may have been their own decision and not anything deeper.
I remember we had this one whiny kid around (just took a longer time to mature and remained soft/babified for longer than everyone else), and my parents never liked him to come around because they couldn't stand being around the whining and crying when we were all past that.
But in realness, it is probably the fact that paintball is $40-$50 per person.

Preach brother. Back in my day even the kid in the iron lung could have beat up these gluten intolerant bitches.

Not once did I claim that’s what the contact would be for. In fact, the OP specifically says that it wouldn’t be for asking for an invite.

No, I would encourage my son to find other friends
