Not invited to my bf cousin wedding

nancy, on May 23, 2017 at 7:52 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 64

Hello everyone just wanted some opinions. So ive been living with my boyfriend for 3 years im currently 5 months pregnant with his child. My family invites and includes my boyfriend in every event. His cousin did not invite me to her wedding, she said just him. Recently his cousin, aunts uncles etc made comments stating they better be invited to the baby shower etc. So ive been doing my best to find a resonable place to make sure i dont exclude anyone for the baby shower. But yet im not invited to the wedding.

    That is pretty sucky! Be the bigger person n invite guests as you normally would for the baby shower.

    I think it's pretty rude of them to invite him and not you- poor etiquette.

    BF must step in and ask why your name wasn't on the invitation.

    Did FH reach out and ask them and they said you weren't or were you just not on the invite? It may have been addressed incorrectly if your name was not on the invite. I would ask if you have not already..

    I would have your FH ask why your name wasn't on the invitation. He should deal with this.

    He needs to find out why the invite wasn't extended to you as well.

    "Sorry Nancy you're not invited"? Wtf? Your BF needs to talk to them. Not because they expect to be invited to your baby shower but because you are the mother of his future child and deserve to be respected as such by all members of the family.

    Yeah, that's unacceptable. Not only are you in a relationship, it's a long-term relationship, you're pregnant with his child, and you're getting married. No excuse for that kind of behavior. FH needs to step in and set them straight.

    You boyfriend needs to speak with them. That is absolutely unreal. You are a social unit and should be invited together. I cannot believe they would send a note stating "sorry Nancy you're not invited".

    And being the Petty Betty I am I would not invite them to my baby shower OR anything wedding related in the future. Or only invite her with a note saying "sorry *husband* you're not invited" --- but that's just me lol

    I can't believe they left a note like that?! So rude! And what do they expect in the future, for your FH and baby to go to events and not you? No way in hell would I let that happen. FH needs to speak to his family this is unacceptable. I'm sorry they have no class.

    That's awful. They are being so infantile. You're engaged AND the mother of his child. There is no getting around the fact that you are a social unit and should be invited together. I agree that FH needs to stand up for you. In this case, I think that involves a personal call to the cousin explaining why neither of you will be at the wedding.

    This is beyond rude. You're his FW and the mother of his child. I'm glad he stepped in and asked about your invitation but he needs to let them know that due to your exclusion, he won't be attending the wedding.

    Is your boyfriend still going to the wedding? I know sure as hell my fiancé wouldn't be going if that was the case. So RUDE! So so sorry this happened to you

    Ask him. If he doesn't stand up to them about this now, especially since things like this have happened in the past, it will only continue. It is rude and quite frankly, disgusting for his family to send you guys and the rest of the family the message that your relationship and you as an individual aren't worthy of being recognized by them.

    Whether they like it or not, they will forever be tied to you by the child that you're carrying...the child that has half of his DNA. They put you in a corner. I would cut my family off if they treated my husband that way.

    OMG an actual note saying you aren't invited? That is the rudest thing ever.

    My husband wouldn't go and would tell them exactly why (or at least through his mother would tell them why lol)

    I'd still invite them to the shower, be the bigger person for the baby. But he wouldn't go or send a gift to that wedding.
