Wedding Related but I Don't Like The Knot/The Nest....

in Baby Showers
My 1st cousin is getting married on September 28th of this year and she's been openly expressing how excited she is/counting down the days/etc. She has even said that, if I feel up to it, I can bring the baby even though she'll only be a few months old because she set aside a "bridal suite" that I can use if I need to nurse.
Last Monday, my brother and mother (both of whom are living with my husband and I for the time being) received their wedding invites in my mail box. My sister, who lives in Boston, also received hers. Mine did not come.
Is it rude for me to ask where my invitation is or let her know that I never received one? It would be one thing if we weren't close and I could assume I just wasn't invited...but I don't think that's the case.

Re: Wedding Related but I Don't Like The Knot/The Nest....
It could have gotten lost in the mail, so I'd wait another week on it first.
If the RSVPs are going to someone other than her, I'd call that person and let them know that you never received an invite but were led to. Relieve that you were invited and wanted to see of you were on the list of invited guests. If yes, then you can RSVP. If not, then it sucks, but at least you'll know.
Did you see the envelope for your mom and brother? Was it addressed to so-and-so & Family? It could be that you were meant to be lumped in with theirs since you all live together.
Since it's your cousin and you've already talked about the wedding, and it's been a week since your mom and brother got theirs, I would just e-mail your cousin and ask. You can acknowledge "hey I feel awkward asking this but" and just explain that you didn't receive an invitation and wanted to double check if you should have received one so you can make plans to attend, etc.
For sure ask! For my baby shower, my mom and sister wanted to send everyone their OWN invite, even if they were in the same house, (they felt it would make people feel more important
)) well my BFF and her sister were invited, they live together, and the sister got her invite and my BFF never did, now she asked me and I let her know for sure she was invited, no big deal! (she ended up getting it a week AFTER my shower, 4 weeks after they were sent out.) She was not the only one who's invite got lost and then recieved after the event.
There were a few people who had no idea about my shower until my mom and sister called for RSVP's. So long story short, its your COUSIN! Call and ask the host, or her, and see whats up! This is family, and if you are worried to call family then there are other problems....
Good Luck!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

They each got a separate envelope addressed to each of them individually...
I'll wait a few days and probably send an email and ask. Thanks for your input!
Haha thank you for your reply! I'm assuming it's probably a similar situation to yours...an invite that simply got lost in the mail.
And you're right, I SHOULD be able to simply call and ask so I probably will within the next couple of days just in case the invite shows up. I just wasn't sure if it was rude to call an ask if you're still invited to a wedding, haha.
My mom's invite to the wedding of her best friend's son got lost somewhere in the mail, it happens.
Since you're 100% sure you're invited I see no problem with calling the bride to RSVP. Let her know you didn't get an invite - other guests might not have received theirs, either.
