I never got an invitation. Is it wrong not to invite a family member to a wedding when you told them there was going to be a wedding?

Maybe the invitations haven't been sent yet? Some wait until a month before to send out invites. Or it might be a very small, private ceremony with just the immediate family members due to special circumstances or lack of financial funds. I would wait until about a month before the wedding and see if you get invited, if not then go to your Aunt and ask her if there is a reason why you weren't invited.

Cousins don't automatically rate an invitation, especially if there is a limited budge or guest list. Also, invitations are normally sent 6-8 weeks before the wedding, so it's a bit soon to be looking for the invite in the mail.

It's "cousin" and you would not get an invitation now if the wedding is in a few months. Invitations are sent approximately 6 weeks prior to the wedding.

Yes, it would actually be rude. But, she's your aunt, and if you've never had any troubles with her, than it should be nothing. And i don't think she would've told you if she didn't want you there, since it's a few months away, she'll probably send the invitation out like a month right before the wedding.

The brides folks are paying for the wedding and they tell the groom how many guests he may invite. Usually less than the bride's side. Perhaps he is not able to invite all his cousins.
On the other hand, my late husband's sister's daughter (my niece) got married and her mother invited everyone but me. She decided that because my husband (her brother) had died I was no longer part of the family. What an a**h**e.

No it isnt wrong. the AUNT, not the son, told you they were getting married. If you want an invite call the son and express that wish. However it is up to his bride whom she invites (and maybe her parents). So maybe they can afford to invite you since they arnt that close to you (dont see or talk to you much i mean). Call and ask the son and at least wish him well. I am not inviting my cousins or some of my fiance's cousins to my wedding cause i dont care about wasting my parents money on them since i dont see them at all.

Dear Shannon,
Patience! Trust your aunt. Pay her a casual visit or something, offer to help with whatever for the wedding and you will know what's happening. It's probably like the friend above said: they send out invitations later...

I love children but I would say you are crazy for this consideration... How long is he going to be held? Have you met the child? We have 3 new kids in our family and it is amazing how we accept them but they can't accept us.. I had 2 foster children many years ago and it was the same thing . We loved them and cared for them and all they could think about was their abusive parents returning...They were only 4 and 5 years old. I mean they were treated badly like punishment was putting their bottoms on the hot stove top and scalding them in the bath tub..The courts only interest was to get them back into their home even though the parents were unable to fulfill their end of the deal.. Like counsiling and not giving them baby bottles and diapering them at that age anymore..but they went right back to their ways... I did have the kids to a dentist because all of their teeth had rotted out from taking a bottle until 4 and 5 years of age...What was the point of tearing our hearts out if they were going back to this home that was out of order? We were able to keep these girls for 9 months but when I went to visit the new home they had moved into they had already removed both bathroom doors and tore the island out of the kitchen and made the place look like a dump.

Yes, it is rude to tell people the details of something they are not invited to.
Maybe this aunt did not know the guest list and it was an honest mistake.
