Wedding invite reciprocation...an eye for an eye

Hello! Looking for advice with my first post on here FH and I have a mutual friend, our classmate from school, who got engaged shortly before we did.

Hello! Looking for advice with my first post on here Smiley smile FH and I have a mutual friend, our classmate from school, who got engaged shortly before we did. Very lovely couple, we have hung out with them on more than one occasion. FH wanted to invite both of them to our wedding from the get go and asked for his mailing address. They are getting married before us and we got very excited when they asked for our mailing address. When the envelope came, it was only addressed to FH. Thinking nothing of it, I tore it open to find a RSVP card only for FH. Whomp whomp, I was disappointed. Our friend knows we are getting married later this year and live together. Not only that, but the wedding is a couple of states away where the couple now lives and FH would have to travel alone.

My MOH joked that I should get them back and only invite our friend but not his wife. Of course I won't do that but now I'm not as excited about inviting them. Am I wrong to feel jilted? What should I do?

    Sorry for the late reply but I really appreciated everyone's input. I ended up having FH call and turns out I am invited. Kinda weird though since invite was only addressed to him and there is only one lined on the RSVP card for a name and only room in the food selection to make a selection for one person. Oh well glad it was cleared up!

    I feel like they messed up and then realized when he asked haha or they're not very on the ball. Good thing your FH called to ask!

    That is so weird! Still rude not to have your name on the invite. I wonder how many other couples they did that to...they're probably all as baffled as you were!

    I have a feeling you weren't really invited. Now that your FH called and confronted them they kinda feel trapped into saying of course she is. :/ You hung out with people. They know your name. If you were really invited it would have been clear. From the beginning.

    I also feel as if you weren't really invited. Like you said, it was only his name, and only one meal choice on the RSVP. When

    Your FH asked, they probably felt trapped/foolish and said yes.
