Not Invited
I`m the stepmother of the bride. Her father and mother was not married. I thought we had a pretty good relationship since she was 6 when her dad and i married. Her mother seems to still resent me. I didn`t recevied an invitation to the bridal shower and my husbands says he automatic invited since he`s the father. As to this date, he hasn`t received an invitation or been asked to walk her down the isle. I don`t know
If i should attend the shower or the wedding. I have read that if you are invited to the shower, you are automatic invited to the wedding.
Please help

WOW! I am not sure how to approach this. Usually I would say to talk to your step-daughter but this situation seems really delicate. I don`t understand why your husband isn`t invited to walk her down the aisle. There seems to be something going on there. It is true that I have heard that if you are invited to the Bridal Shower, you are invited to the wedding but in this case, it is hard to say because if she hasn`t invited you to the wedding then I am not sure about the shower. Her mother may be turning her head and talking the loudest in her ear and maybe that is why she is not inviting you to the shower and wedding. I am not sure. Talking helps but as I said, it is delicate.

Do I attend the shower uninvited? Do I attend the wedding uninvited? The shower is this weekend..
