I'm a bridesmaid, & I'm not invited to bacherlrette party!
My brother is the groom, I'm close friends with the bride, and I'm also in the bridal party.
The maid of honor told me last weekend (at her bridal shower for the bride) that she was throwing the bride a bachelorette party next weekend. I said, wow, that sounds like fun (waiting for the invite, or more details... I got nothing).
Now the bachelorette party is two days away, and I haven't received an invite, email or phone call, and she definitely has all my info.
I'm really hurt and frustrated that I'm not included. What should I do?

Dear Jo Jo,
This is strange. Perhaps she assumed you knew you were invited because she mentioned the party. Perhaps you could mention to the bride that you hope she has a good time prompting her to ask why you are not attending.

I thought of that... but it's supposed to be a surprise.
So, I was thinking instead, of calling the maid of honor, like, the day before, and telling her I never received my invitation in the mail, and if she could fill me in on all the details. (That way, she can tell me if I'm really not invited or not.)
What do you think? Or is that being too presumptuous?
Thanks, Jolene

You really are supposed to be invited. So, I suppose that would be fine. After all if you are not invited, she should have mentioned to you that it is a private party for the two of them, not a bachelorette party.
I hope you are not hurt by this. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
