Don't want to attend husband's daughter's reception
Here is my dilemma. My husband's youngest daughter is having a wedding reception in less then 38 days. I have no relationship of any sort with by her choice and then eventually mine. I gave up trying. She has broken every possible wedding etiquette rule that’s been written. I do not use my husband last name which she is aware. So needless to say the invitation received in our home was address to Mr. & Mrs. XXX. The notice did not include me, which is fine, however, did include her late mother as not being addressed ‘the late”. I am not sure if I am actually invited and in all honestly I have no respect for the women, Am I obligated to attend as the wife of the bride’s father? I personally have decided not to attend but I am considering my husband’s feelings.

Of course this is your choice and you have the right not to attend. But, this is also your chance to stand next to your husband as his current wife. It would be difficult to ignore you if you are standing right there. Even if she tried, others would notice you even more.
Please feel comfortable in either decision you make.
