Technically, it would be your boss' stepdaughter that would do the inviting and the guest list. Do you know his/her stepdaughter personally? If you don't, then there's no reason for you to be invited to the wedding. Did other people in your office get invited and not you? Then you might have an issue.
But chances are everything's fine. Your boss probably doesn't have the "authority" to just invite whomever they way to his/her stepdaughter's wedding.

Were you the only employee not invited? If so, are the others fairly close to the boss? It's possible that the wedding was for close friends and family only. My cousin got married last year and my mother and I weren't invited to the wedding itself. We were invited to the reception. It was because the place where the wedding took place was very small and they had to limit the number of people invited; therefore, immediate family and close friends only. This could be what happened in this case; however, it's not typical for employees to be invited to weddings in the employer's family unless the employee is also a good friend.

How long have you been there? How long have you known your boss? How long have you known her step daughter? How close is your boss with her step child?
Were other employees invited? If other employees were invited - did they know the women better than you? Have they been at the company longer?
Weddings are expensive. Some people have to make hard choices.
Don't take it personaly.

I don't think your boss as any right to invite you to someone elses wedding....its her step daughter. Not daughter,,,,big difference, especially is the real mother is invloved. Just think of how many would be on the guest list is all the step mothers family, possibly step fathers family, mothers family, fathers family......it would have been weird if you got an invite.

Well, it depends. Did your boss invite any of your other coworkers? If so, there may be a reason. He/she could have forgotten to invite you as well.
Who wrote out the invitations? The step-daughter? Maybe she overlooked or forgot to include you.
As for "doing something wrong," you would know that.
If you feel you have a good relationship with your boss, you could ask. Perhaps it is as simple as an oversight on their part.
Perhaps one of your coworkers could intercede on your part and ask>
Try not to take too hard.

if everyone else from the office was invited, then yes that is weird.
However, I don't think its normal for bosses to invite their staff to children/step-children's weddings. and I think the other way would hold true too. If your child was getting married you wouldn't have to invite your boss to the wedding.

there are a million valid reasons not to invite someone to a wedding. maybe your boss , being a step-mother, didn't have inviting rights. maybe money was/is an issue- weddings are expensive. do you even count the bride among your friends? stop worrying and go do something productive.

It's not her wedding to invite people, so I wouldn't be too offended. If you were friends with her step daughter, she would have invited you. Be glad, at least you don't have to spend money on a gift for someone you don't really know or care about.

Unless you are friends with him outside of work, then your boss is not obligated to invite you. Also, it might just be a small family affair. Remember that weddings are very expensive.

Do you even know her step-daughter? Why should you be invited to her wedding? Most people don't invite co-workers to their weddings, anyway. Don't take it personal.
