Wedding invitations etiquette?

[Heidi C]

My 24 year old daughter has been living with the father of child and have been together for 6 years. My sister sends her a invitaion to her sons wedding to: Heather, Audrey and Guest. These people are very judgemental infact My brother in law said I was a failure because I got divorced. And when I announced my engagement 5 years after my D. He said "hey do you know the divorce statistics for 2nd marriages." They also invited my 19 year old who lives on her own and does have a boyfriend for 1.5 years now on my invitiation with no mention of Guest for her. I thinkThese (CHRISTIAN PEOPLE) are very judgy. Am I being picky?

I don't think you're being picky. These people know who lives in the home, and the invitation should have been addressed to all 3, not just the mother child and "guest". That's just rude. They should have been more respectful in their writing of invitations, as well as speaking with you regarding your divorce and 2nd marriage. Quite frankly "statistics" don't affect how you feel for your partner, and your in-law is being quite spiteful. Just take them with a grain of salt and try to interact with them as little as possible.

No you're not being picky. You know the scripture that says (paraphrasing) how can you pull the log out of my eye when you have one in your own? They sound like hypocrites to me. Don't be ashamed because of the choices you or any of your family members make. I can almost guarantee you that you are happier than they are, because if they had it all together like they think they do, they'd be more absorbed in living their own lives instead of trying to dictate to everyone else how to live theirs.

Always remember that when people are constantly gossiping and complaing and pointing fingers, there's something in themselves that they lack and they see that trait in you. Whether its love, trust, faith, hope, whatever it is. Just walk with you head up and don't let people shake you to the core.

They will reap everything they sow.

Some people are like that. They like to judge others choices because they can't bear to look into their own problems. Just ignore the undertones and wish the newlyweds your best.

Maybe they can't afford the short term boyfriend. They obviously don't like the 24 yr old daughter's bf or they would have known his name. You're BIL is a moron with no respect for you. He just wants to put you down to make himself seem better. I would not go until they respect you and your family.
