Don't invite people you don't like or don't want to be there out of of a sense of what... obligation? duty? or to be 'nice'? Inviting them would not feel like a party but a chore and a burden & most certainly not fun. In that case, you may as well not invite any neighbours at all.
The party is to celebrate your daughter and have fun. So invite people accordingly.

Yes, the only reason I'd invite the Parkers would be out of a sense of obligation. because I feel like if I invite the other neighbors then I need to invite them since we've all shared the same corner for 15+ years. The problem lies with the fact that we had a falling out with the Parkers but not with the other neighbors. The parkers have always been a pain in the a $ $. They are the kind of people who only like you if they can use you and they bully you if yo stand up for yourself. the other neighbors put up with them out of fear, I think. And the parkers are the kind that don't legitimately celebrate your accomplishment, they pretend to but secretly wait for you to fail because they are very insecure. They will be busy with their own kid's party anyway. perhaps I should just invite who I want and who my daughter wants and stop giving a crap.
