Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner will be skipping the bash.
Posh is out of town for work, but Geri has turned down the invitation.
An insider spilled: 'Mel's throwing a huge party in Leeds for her 50th. It's also her fiance's birthday today so it's a joint celebration and will be a real family affair.
"But Geri and Posh can't make it. Posh had a work commitment she couldn't get out of.
"It's a bit awkward given the reunion excitement."
The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.
The snub comes just days after we revealed plans for the group to reunite as Avatars, following in the footsteps of pop legends Abba.
It would see holograms of Geri, Mels B and C, Emma Bunton and Victoria playing their biggest hits.
Victoria, who was not part of their 2019 tour, was said to have suggested she would agree if the others did.
A source added: 'Their former manager Simon Fuller is desperate to have one last hurrah with the Spice Girls and this is his latest idea.
Mel B drops biggest clue yet that Spice Girls are reuniting with cryptic comment on Instagram
"He was the person who came up with the original idea for Abba and their digital show and he thinks this model could work perfectly for the group.
Mel B is due to marry Rory McPhee, 38, later this year.
It comes as Geri and Mel suffered a "frosty reunion" at Victoria's birthday last year.
Geri and Mel are said to have kept their distance at Oswald's private members' club in Mayfair at the star-studded bash.
A source said of the stars, who had a second No1 in 1996 with Say You'll Be There: 'Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party but it didn't go as planned.
"She was laughing it all off but Geri didn't seem interested in hearing what she had to say and wandered off.
'When it came to taking their group picture, Geri kept as far away from Mel as possible which was awkward to watch."
Any awkwardness between the group, who split in 2000, seemed to be ­forgotten by the time they hit the dancefloor — where they performed their 1997 hit Stop.
Onlookers told The Sun the five also sat down at a table together and talked during the evening.

She captioned the post with a series of emojis including a cocktail glass, coconut, stars and red love heart. The model and actress' yacht photoshoot comes after she posed completely naked for a racy bath snap before posing topless in a set of sizzling selfies. Brooklyn, a professional photographer, snapped his wife fully stretched out in a white tub with no bubble bath, the clear water giving a glimpse of her toned figure. She covered her modesty with her arm and leg, leaving her dark locks flowing into the water. Nicola went make-up free and accessorised with a single diamond bracelet. Brooklyn recently opened up to Glamour on his early plans to pop the question to Nicola, whom he married in Miami three years ago. In a rare joint interview and cover shoot with his wife, Brooklyn said: "I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her. "But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there." Yet the chef and photographer failed to mention his parents David and Victoria by name, and claims he has now hired Prince Harry's lawyers to solve the bitter family dispute.

Hugely popular ITV crime thriller axed after just one season - despite bringing in glowing reviews and 4million viewers

A hit ITV crime thriller has been axed after just one season despite having brought in glowing reviews and four million viewers. Breakthrough drama Joan has been canned, much to the dismay of avid fans, reportedly because its starring actress Sophie Turner was too busy. It has been claimed that ITV's drama team spent months trying to find a gap in star Sophie Turner 's busy schedule to film the second series. However, after exhausting all avenues, the production crew had to admit defeat and axe the popular thriller. An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: 'ITV and Snowed-In Productions would love to produce another series of Joan. 'However, as a consequence of cast availability, and following co-production discussions, a second series isn't possible.' MailOnline has contacted ITV and Sophie's representatives for comment. The series follows the life of Joan Hannington - a real-life jewel thief who pocketed more than £3million of gems in London in the 1980s. In her ever-present fur coats and shimmering blue eyeshadow, the glamorous fraudster earned herself the moniker The Godmother among the city's criminal network. The first season aired last autumn and comprised only six episodes, but that was enough to get viewers hooked. The show left several loose ends to be tied, with the Joan determined to get revenge on her criminal counterpart Albie, who had betrayed her. Fiery Joan was also left with plans of a new and lucrative business empire after having spent a four-year stint in prison for armed robbery. Last year, director Richard Laxton said: 'There is definitely potential for the story to go on,' which only added to fans' despair. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow both attempted to resurrect Joan's thrilling story and bring it to screens in the early 2000s, but they weren't successful. Sophie is currently occupied with several time-consuming projects and is set to play video game heroine Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider TV series. She is also appearing in sci-fi movie Cloud One and will feature in horror film The Dreadful alongside her Game Of Thrones co-star Kit Harrington. Sophie also has two daughters from her marriage to American singer Joe Jonas, and is now in a relationship with aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. Joan's very first episode was branded 'incredible' by viewers when it first aired last year. During one scene, Sophie's character meets her future husband Boisie Hannington (Frank Dillane) in a pub, with the bartender played by the couple's actual son Benny Banks. Speaking ahead of the episode, Sophie said: 'It's amazing because in the scene that we meet first in the pub, the bartender was played by Joan's son Benny'. 'It was so cool to have that because it's the moment his parents meet and he got to be there and we got to hang out with him'. Viewers were full of praise for Sophie's performance as she played the young mum, who ventures into the criminal underworld in a bid to make a better life for her young daughter. In a press conference about the show, Sophie explained she had no problem turning on the waterworks, saying: 'I'm a Pisces, I'm emotional.' 'She is so funny but she has gone through so much trauma and is so ambitious,' Sophie added of her character. 'There really is so much to her – mother, lover, liar, thief. It's just remarkable that it's all a true story.' The drama follows Joan as she escapes her violent husband but has to place her daughter into care as she gets back on her feet. With no money and nowhere to live, she manages to secure a job in a jeweller's, from where she steals her first diamonds.
