A wedding invitation recently arrived at my parents' house. It was addressed to Mr. & Mrs. & family. I understand that "family" usually refers to the children, who in this case are my 25 year old sister who is married, has a baby, and lives on the other side of the country, and me. I am 23, engaged, and not living with my parents.
The bride and her family are family friends who all attended my sister's wedding and have met my fiance.
I understand that had I received my own invitation or if the one invitation had all names listed, the situation would have been less confusing. However, this is not the case, so I am wondering whether or not my fiance invited to this wedding. I would rather not call the bride and ask in case they for some reason have over looked him or didn't intend to invite him. I'm also reluctant to add his name to the response card without a direct invitation. Should I just attend the wedding without him? Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for the advice!

Was there an inner envelope? If so, whose names were listed? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

He should be invited. But, if his name is not included, then he is not invited as he is not family.
This is why 'and family' really should not be used. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
