I have a very good friend who is the god mother for my child. But recently our friendship isn't as close as what it used to be. And I can't help but find this quit weird that not once has she ever invited me and my family over to dinner... ( I haven't either for the simple fact I feel she doesn't want to come) is it me or does this not sound normal? Like I'm talking never! Unless of course for a birthday party or event. I'm not sure why it's bothering me so much. Now I find us not seeing each other as often and I feel like I'm the one constantly asking to meet up. I feel like this friendship is now heading down a dead end. In the time I've known her I've met and made an amazing best friend and we don't think twice about dinner or family gatherings at each others house. So I guess my question is should I approach this friend and ask her why she never invites us over or should I just leave it?

Don't compare your 2 friends they are completely different people....
Maybe she feels you don't want to go to her place either? You said that you don't invite her, therefore she hasn't actually ever declined an invitation. You are assuming that you can read her mind and know what she is thinking. It's great you have new friends but if you want to keep your old friendship then instead of considering confronting her (which could just push her away), change your own behavior as this is the only thing you can control. Invite her for dinner and just enjoy her company.
Instead of asking her why she's never invited you I would firstly invite her over to your place for dinner and see what she says? She might even say yes and you's could end up having a great time? Then it might encourage your friend to invite your family over for dinner. If she simply says no then I would be letting the friendship be and moving on
