Yes, it would be silly for a normal, level-headed person to fly off the rails for not getting a dinner invite. Yet, Regina is an unstable, recovering magic addict without a support network and a crazy, manipulative witch of a mother who’s just arrived in SB. Any threat (real or not) that Regina perceives that she’s losing Henry could be enough to push Regina off the no-magic bandwagon. Plus, with Mr. Gold whispering dangerous thoughts of Regina losing custody of her son, she’s bound to snap at some point.
I don’t think the deal is going to be about her not getting an invite or not. I think too much is being put in to that invitation. That is not going to be THE reason she drops of the ‘no magic wagon’. It’s probably going to be about the threat of loosing Henry to either the Charmings or Cora. The scene in Golds shop with the invite and Henry letting go of her hand, was just a little hint of that happening in the future. I think…

Also, Regina has a very bad history at misdirecting the blame where her mother is involved. Regina went crazy for something her mother did (killing Daniel) but then proceeded to take out her anger on Snow, who was young and manipulated by Cora. Regina’s anger at what her mother did is disproportionally taken out on the Charmings and everyone else. Cora being in town could seriously take away whatever little sanity Regina managed to recover since the curse was broken. If Regina perceives that Cora could try and take Henry, she may feel the only way to protect him is by resorting to magic, which she doesn’t know Emma has. She might therefore strongly object to the Charmings claim to custody. The promo for 2×10 shows Regina yelling at the Charmings “you're not going to take my son!” and then using magic to violently blow Emma backwards. I'd say the old, rage-fuled Regina could be rearing her head because of her mother's arrival and also because of her perception that the Charmings are excluding Regina from Henry's life (however true or not).
in regards to the spoiler remark. I think in the next couple of episodes we will see Evil popping up its ugly head in the faces of the Charmings. That would be great, I think, to see it from that side now that we have seen good from the ‘evil’ side. If you get my point….sometimes i’m terrible at explaining myself 😉
