Dear Annie: Wedding invitation is not reciprocal

Dear Annie: My son is getting married in a year. He has sent out save the dates to family and friends. He sent one to his cousin and his cousinโ€™s fiancee.

Two months later, the same cousin and fiancee sent out wedding invites for their own wedding (taking place two months before my sonโ€™s) and did not include my sonโ€™s fiancee. I spoke with my nephew to see what happened. He said it was a mistake but he would need to wait to see if others reply no before inviting my soon-to-be daughter-in-law. It is going to be a fairly large wedding, and I feel like my nephew should remedy the situation now and not later. At this point, if my sonโ€™s fiancee is not invited, then the rest of our immediate family, including myself, do not want to attend my nephewโ€™s wedding. — Irritated Aunt

Dear Irritated Aunt: Your nephewโ€™s logic doesnโ€™t make much sense. If it was a mistake that your sonโ€™s fiancee never got her invite, then it shouldnโ€™t really matter how the other guests RSVP. I would speak to your son directly about the matter, and then have him reach out to his cousin and explain why itโ€™s important for his fiancee to receive an invite sooner rather than later.
