My cousins’ wives are hosting a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Everyone received their invitations a week ago and I’ve not received one. I don’t know if the snub was intentional or accidental. What’s the best way to ask about it? If the snub was intentional, I don’t want to show up to a place where I’m not wanted. But if the snub was unintentional, I’d really like to go to the party or at least know that I’m welcome. Thanks for your help.
Someone should contact the hostesses on your behalf and find out what is going on, and if this was an innocent oversight, they should send you an invitation right away, along with a call to you apologizing and encouraging you to come. If this is not done, you should not show up univited. If you have a close relationship with your s-i-l, she is the obvious one to step in and straighten this out for you.
