My niece is getting married in 5 weeks and having a bridal shower, now my mother in law got invited but I didn't, me and my hubby have been married for 17 years, how would you take that if it happened to you? I feel a bit insulted in a way, and confused,
 
I would feel exactly the way you are feeling.Is there a chance that something may have gotten mixed up?
Around here people who aren't even invited to weddings get invited to showers so I would be extremely insulted...but I am not sure how you should go about this.Maybe some others will have some advice for you.

I just wanted to say that maybe there was some mix up. We just had a shower for my soon to be sister-in-law and a really good family friend didn't get invited. Not because she wasn't on the list but because somewhere in the process the maid of honor forgot her. Anyway, the family friend was very upset but didn't say anything to my mom. At the shower my mom was wondering where she is and found out that she hadn't recieved an invitation and was mortified. To make a long story short, it may be an oversight because all of these lists get shuffled through many hands. Is there anyone in the family that you can ask about it?? Good luck.

thanks for that, I hope that is all it is, but my mother in law will probably ask since she just found out today that I didn't get invited, have to see what happens,
 
Sometimes brides like to keep showers to only the first-level relation (i.e., aunts) to lower the costs (if his family is really large perhaps it would just be too much with all of the cousins and such). Or like other people said, it might be an oversight. I'd get more info before getting upset.

Good luck!

I agree with Marie....

For the sake of keeping things small for my baby shower, the person who threw it for me (my mom) invited my Aunts but not my cousins...There could be any number of reasons why you were not invited that are not a personal reflection on you...

Don't get upset until you know the scoop!:)
 
My DH has a cousin who has TWICE forgotten to invite my stepson to important family occasions. Since all of my stepson's cousins were invited both times, I KNEW it had to be an oversight. I know that she is not a nasty person, and would never leave one person out on purpose. Both times I spoke up and called her, and both times my stepson got an invite. My stepson invited her and her whole family to his wedding, and they came. We have not harbored any ill feelings. She's not a ditz either, just a person with an overly-busy life. This stuff happens. It doesn't necessarily mean a thing.
