| Hey gals, So, my mum, sister and I were invited to a bridal shower last month and the wedding is at the end of this month. We haven't received a wedding invitation yet and I was wondering if anyone else had been in this sort of situation??

| That happened to me a year ago. I went to the shower happily and was excited for the wedding...and kept waiting for the wedding invite to come...and it never did. It was a bit bizarre. I'm not someone who strongly enforces all the old ettiquette rules, but this is one that I believe holds current day value. If you feel close enough to me to invite me to your shower, and for me to spend my money to buy you a lovely gift, well, I would think I would then be worthy of coming to the wedding! It's different is someone is getting married far away, or it's a tiny wedding and they've gone out of their way to explain the situation and you go to the shower knowledgable that you wont' be going to the wedding... For a while I thought maybe my invite just got lost in the mail, but when they never called me (as they would have if I didn't rsvp in time) I realized I just was never getting one! I still love the girl, she's great. I'm not basing our friendship on it, but it did hurt a bit. Hope it works out for you!

| Well, she is a friend of the family.. so it is weird that nothing has come yet.. and she only sent a thank you card to my mum when the three of us were in on the gift.. I agree with you in terms of inviting to the shower then invite to the wedding.. but it's not something I think i can hold against her..

| I agree it is a bit odd/rude. I for one would never invite a person to a shower if they were not invited to the wedding.

Perhaps the invitation got lost? Maybe you could phone her and ask about it??

| It seems really odd that she would not send an invitation after having you at her shower. I am having a DW and I will not be having a shower (perhaps just a get together without gifts). I can't imagine asking people to come celebrate my upcoming wedding at a shower and then not inviting them to the actual wedding. I would casually call up the person and ask about the invitation, as previously said perhaps it was lost in the mail.
