Is it rude to ask for chairs?

Ok my sister doesn’t like my mom really doesn’t speak to her. So pretty sure she just started this fight to fight with my mom but I’m gonna run it by y’all to see if you guys think she’s right. Why not.

So my sons birthday is tomorrow on the 27th. So like 6 months ago I called my mom and told her I was throwing a thanksgiving dinner at her house and my sons birthday party here also on thanksgiving. My mom was like ok idk where your going to fit people but sure you can have the party here. I told my dad about the party but also told him I know he usually goes to his girlfriends family for the holidays and we haven’t spent a holiday or birthday together in 8 years so I wouldn’t be offended if he didn’t come, just let me know so if he’s not coming I can plan on us doing something the next weekend. He said he already had plans and the weekend after would be great. And I didn’t even text my sister, we don’t speak much. Mending the relationship since I had my son but there are still wounds there. So about 2 months ago my sister actually texted me and asked what we are doing for my sons party and I told her going to mom, but will he doing something dad the following weekend. Figured she would pick going to dads but no she actually said she was going to go to my moms for thanksgiving. Shocking but ok. Everything has been cool since then, she bought decorations and a cake. All is good. Until today my mom texted her and my dad early in the morning that I was having trouble finding folding chairs for the party, if either of them had any laying around. Neither of them replied to my mom. My mom just took that as a no and went about her day. I called her late afternoon to go over a few things grocery list mainly. And my mom had mentioned texting a few people and couldn’t find chairs and I told her not to worry my MIL found a guy that like rents them out of his garage $1 a chair, I was getting 10. Ended the conversation there. I guess she texted my dad and my sister again to say never mind. Well that’s when my sister called her, and here’s the fight for those that stuck around for the back story.

My sister thinks it’s unbelievably rude to ask someone to bring chairs for a party they aren’t invited for. And that my mom is a horrible, selfish person so asking my dad to go out of his way to bring her chairs, when she couldn’t go out of his way to even invite him.

Is my mom wrong for asking my dad to bring chairs or is my sister just starting a fight to start a fight?

Thanks to y’all who read the whole post. I will add this is my first kid and it’s his 1st birthday so I’m beyond excited and extremely stressed out.
