If you knew someone and knew they were getting married but you didn't get invited, you wouldn't go up to them and ask where your invitation was, would you?!?! This happened to a good friend of mine at her workplace. Another girl heard people talking about getting invited and she hadn't received her invitation, so she asked my friend where it was. The two of them aren't even friends. How and why could she do that to my friend?

If someone is foolish enough to ask that question they deserve to hear the honest answer.

Well I certainly wouldnt do that! I would guess that I hadnt been invited and I would probably be hurt and feel left out but I would keep quiet about it and just not mention the wedding.
If they were good friends and the bride had been talking about the wedding to this girl, so she assumed she was invited, then maybe she would have a point. But as you say, they are not friends.
I know a lady that would do this. She is so forward and has the thickest skin ever. She is aware that she comes over as rude, but she doesnt care. She relaly rubs me the wrong way. I have a feeling she is assuming she will be invited to my wedding too....if I dont invite her, I bet she will ask where her invitation is.

Here is the thing, The "rules" to wedding invites if in an office. You are only required to invite those you have hang out with outside of work. Or if your in a small office you should let the few you invite not to say anything to others.
With that said the "girl" who asked your friend where is her invite is RUDE. Most people were not taught manners, or to be respectful of other feelings. Also as a bride she should be able to say I have limited space and could only invite a few friends, I am sorry.

No, I wouldn't.
However, it did happen to us, and I was flummoxed! After church one Sunday morning, a 20-something I kind of knew from church (she was actually a very far away cousin) just came right up and asked for an invitation! Now, she and I have the same 'auntie' - a couple times removed, but I grew up knowing this auntie, and she was invited. I really regretted that I caved and sent this girl an invitation - I'm normally rather assertive, but was really put on the spot!

People are clueless sometimes. I had someone tell me she'd pay to be invited! Talk about feeling put on the spot. I have no intention of inviting this woman. She works where I do, but we're not friends (I work with over 1,000 people)...she knew I was engaged, so she asked me how the plans were going and I said pretty well, so she asked what we were planning, and when I told her, she said she'd pay to be invited! Holy cow, I just laughed it off.

Never ask for your invitation never.They invite people who are their friends and family.Didn't she figure out she wasn't invited?She was putting your Friend on the spot to embarrass her.All she should have said was"Oh,the people that I invited received their invitation long ago."

That is totally unacceptable. I am getting a lot of that now from old friends I have not spoken to in forever (and vice versa). They have talked to other friends who have been invited and asked me where there invitation was. That is just wrong.

Never ever ever ask for an invitation anywhere!! If for some reason you were invited and it got lost, the person throwing the event would ask for your RSVP and ask if you received it. Very very tacky.

Wow that is completely rude, I hope your friend put her in her place! I would never ask, some people can't afford to invite everyone they have ever met.

What a sticky situation.
How rude and unnapropiate.
No, I would never ask for an invite. I know better than that.
Good luck

Apparently she's very rude and felt that either she was closer to your friend or deserved an invitation.
