I'm not sure if anything can be done about this after the fact. My stepson lives three hours away from us. We sent him a list of people to send his wedding invitations to. My husband's brother & his wife received their invitation, but their adult son, who lives with them, had not been included on the invitation, even tho we supplied my stepson with this information. Now my husband's brother & wife are miffed by this unintentional oversight. I don't want them to have hard feelings--other than apologizing verbally to them, is there anything else we should do? We had no control over the matter once the guest list left our hands. These in-laws weren't planning on attending the wedding as they'd already made vacation plans for the week of the wedding prior to knowing what day the wedding was.

All you can do is to explain to your relative that this was indeed an oversight and that you will have your stepson send an invitation to their adult son. Remind them that these are young people who live a distance from you and sometimes mistakes are made. Emphasize that their son was included on the list but that perhaps they overlooked adding his name to the inner envelope.
