I recently had a pool party at my house (I live in Phoenix still warm here) and invited about 20 friends to come hang out because we all haven't hung out together in a long time. Long story short I got a nasty text from an "acquaintance" (we're really not even friends) basically whining and upset about how he wasn't invited to my pool party and he thought we were better than that and blah blah blah. I just ignored the text because I don't owe him an explanation I can invite who ever I want to my house. He's my friend's friend and the only time I hang out with him is when my friend brings him along or whatever and even then I don't talk or hang out with him we just happen to be in the same room at get togethers but there's zero friendship between us. I seriously don't even talk to him or see him like that which is why I really don't know why he thought he was supposed to be invited. I'm sure he just assumed that we were friends since we know a lot of the same people but dude come on.....WE ARE NOT FRIENDS GET OVER IT!

You did the right thing. There is not much to do unless more comes out of it. His reaction is normal for people who still don't understand these kinds of social situations.
I would ignore it. But I have to ask....how does he have your number in order to text if you aren't friends and barely acquaintances? My cell number is something I give out very sparingly.

That is a good question. That is a lesson for the OP to learn. If he is going to be giving out his number so freely, then he should be ready for these kinds of reactions.
By the way, I do give out my number to acquaintances but I am very careful about how I plan my parties. The OP had 20 people come over and I am going to bet that these 20 people were not best friends. Personally, I would have invited that dude. Otherwise, I limit the size of my party to people who are really good friends and we always have good excuses for not inviting everyone else, IF they found out.

Except OP's good excuse was simply the person was NOT a friend... so why should the guy be invited regardless?
If I received texts like that, I would've asked: "Who's this?" and then blow it off. I've dealt with those kind of people wayy too many times in my 20s, they're *never* worth it.
