My 30 year old daughter is going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding. This bride was my daughter's maid of honor at her destination wedding. My daughter also gave a bridal shower for her at my townhouse as she lives out of town. Of course I helped her. I was incensed that I was not invited to the wedding. Is that justified? I've known this girl since she was 12 and there has not been a falling out. We heard that the guest list was tight (300) so they opted to not invite any of the wedding parties' parents. All the other parents of the wedding party live out of town. Also, the mother of the bride and the bride threw my daughter an unbelievable bridal shower before my daughter was married. Also, the mother of the bride came to my daughter's destination wedding in Mexico. This does not make sense to anyone I've spoken to about it.

I'm sorry you weren't invited and feel slighted. But, sometimes the guest list just has to be cut off somewhere. Maybe they have a huge family? Who knows? In any event, I would try not to let this get in the way of what seems to be a nice relationship. There isn't much that can be done about it.

I agree. Most often the mothers of the bridal party are not invited.
They obviously have their reasons and it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with you and your relationship with them. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
