My new son-in-law is getting married soon. He and his fiance' are paying for the wedding themselves, maybe her parents are paying for some of it. My husband isn't paying for any of it and he wasn't asked. My son-in-law's mother is not going to be attending the wedding which will be a small beach wedding. My question is this. They have already sent out invitations via email to the few people who are attending but they worded it as: Mr and Mrs Her Parents request the honor of your the presence, etc. at the marriage of Bride to Groom, son of Mother of Groom and Father of Groom. I feel slighted since his mother has turned down attending the wedding but I am, and they knew this before sending out the invite. Do I have reason to feel slighted or no?

I'm confused. Do you mean your new step son? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

So, sorry, Yes, I mean my new step-son. His mother isn't attending but I am. But I am not worded in the invite. This seems like an intentional slight to me.

Please don't feel slighted. This is stating that he is the son of these two people. He is not your son. It is not a slight. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
