My niece is getting married and I am not invited since my sister and I had a faling out. This niece was always my favorite and vice versa. I do not know how my niece feels about me now; we have not had any contact. I know the date of the wedding, and where the new couple will live, but that is it. My sister made sure I was not included. She may not know that I am aware her daughter is getting married. Should I send a card and/or gift to the newlyweds, or just forget we were ever related? I appreciate any advice you can offer.

This would be personal advice, opinion, not etiquette advice. If you want to have a relationship with your niece reach out to her. It's up to you how to do this and how long you will keep trying. You'll have to gauge that by your personal experience. Since you know about the wedding, and have the address, it would be pretty easy to send a card or gift and see what happens.

I agree. If you really love her, it just seems right to reach out.
I'm sorry about your relationship with your sister. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now

Thank you kindly. I will reach out to my niece. At least she will know that I still care. It's sad I can't be at her wedding; one of the most important days of her life.
