Our Neice Invited me to wedding but not my sister (her other aunt)

Teresa, on June 14, 2019 at 6:38 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 7
I have a brother and a sister. Our brother's daughter has invited me to her wedding but I don't know if she invited our sister. Our brother's other daughter got married last year, she invited me but not our sister. So, I don't know what to do. My niece is closer to me than to our sister. They probably could not invite a lot of people and our sister probably wouldn't go but I feel she should have gotten an invitation. Should I ask my niece or talk to my brother about it? Should I go to the wedding even if our sister was not invited?

    No. Don't ask. Too many people seem to think it's ok to ask an engaged couple if they are invited to the wedding or if so and so is invited. If they wanted to invite your sister, they would have.
    If you want to know if your sister is invited ask her.
    If you want to go to the wedding, go. If you don't, don't.
    But please don't ask them if they invited so and so.

    No. Your brother either knows and probably doesn't want to talk about it or doesn't know and will cause a mess.
    There's a reason for it, you don't need to know it, if you're not comfortable then don't go. If you're okay going then go and try to avoid telling your sister before then.
    I'm not inviting my uncle and my Dad couldn't convince me otherwise.

    NO. Stay out of this. Not your place. Stay out of their relationship. There’s almost always more
    to it than you know.

    I would go regardless if my sister was invited or not. That's me. It's about the niece and not what my sister is or isn't doing on that day. You said your niece is closer to you than your sister. I think that's enough explanation. I wouldn't dig further.

    I agree with other posters. You should go because it's your niece but you shouldn't ask because everyone has their reasons for the people they do/don't invite to their wedding

    Don't ask!
    They have thought about what they want to do, extensively, and have acted upon it. There is no reason for you to get involved. Think back to how hard it was to plan your wedding, she does not need your input on this, I am sure she has spoken with her father on it and took a long time to come to a decision.
    Of course you should still go. You said your sister was not invited to his other daughters wedding, but you did not mention your sister being upset about that or anything, and stated your niece is closer to you. While what she has done is usually taboo, there are circumstances for it. You stated your sister probably wouldn't even go, there is no reason to push this issue.

    It's not your place to ask, and if she wasn't invited before to the other wedding I don't see what the difference is now, you stated that your niece is closer to you anyways. I wouldn't ask but I would attend, it's a niece you said your close to, it may damage your relationship if you don't. As a bride whose having to pick and choose herself, I can tell ya that my dad has two siblings, a brother and sister, I am 10x closer to my aunt than my uncle who I haven't seen in over a decade and has definitely burned some bridges with the family (even his own son who I am inviting), his wife is rude and obnoxious to my grandparents and I'm not dealing with that on my wedding day, I have too many people that I want there, to invite people like that, will I probably face some crap for doing so, yeah, but that's my business.


    Who your niece has or hasn't invited is truly none of your business unless you're helping pay for the wedding.
