In
the spirit of asking questions- what should I do with this relatively minor point of manners.

I've just been invited by (facebook invited) to a birthday luncheon of a friend by his girlfriend. I really don't know him well- I like him immensely as a person but we certainly aren't close in the least, and I've met his girlfriend a grand total of once. However the facebook invitation is small- about 20 people or so, and both of them are very popular, so it's not a mass invite if that makes sense. Should I doublecheck with the girlfriend, accept or just ignore?

Anyone else had any tricky moments today?

just go
if you were asked, they would like you to attend

Go.
If you're one of a few select people that have been invited, it means they want you there.

it's
the fact that it is his girlfriend doing the inviting. I literally met her once in a supermarket and though she seemed very lovely, I think she might have the mistaken impression that I'm closer to him than I actually am

Either that or they think you're a nice person
and would like you to attend because you'll light up the room with your whit and charm.

Go
It could turn in to a massive orgy. Or just be a piss up and you'd get to know everyone a bit better. Win/win!

Just go and become a closer friend than you are now.
Simples!

Go
and then betray the trust placed in you by acting like a total wanker.
