Am I justified in feeling annoyed?

As part of a young relative's wedding, I offered to host interstate guest/s, expecting a couple or sisters, perhaps, because I have plenty of room, but was allotted her college friend, whom I don't really know or like, but I've made her comfortable and feeling welcome.

There have been several parties to which she's gone, to none of which I have been invited except for one tedious kitchen tea. It is not a generational thing, lots of my contemporaries have gone, but they are COUPLES and I am solo.

Is this the reason why I have been left out of the fun things? and am I right in thinking that it is poor manners to invite to your home a guest in a house, and not include the host in that invitation?

Update:

Thanx for quick answers

Re Miss Jewlee - I am NOT clean and sober really, I took the name because it is non-gender, non-age etc. friends say I am a fun person too.

The hosts are NOT the bride or her parents but other people who don't know me well but also don't know my guest! The bride and her fam are fine.It is the groom's folks who need to learn manners I think.

    so even after you've helped your relative out.. they've only invited your house guest to these events and not you?? That's messed up. I'd say something to them to let them know how you feel.. and while you're at it.. let them know they can find their help elsewhere because you refuse to and don't deserve to be treated like this.

    Just out of curiosity.. how is this affecting things between you and your house guest? as in.. is this causing conflict with the guest? If so then maybe you could suggest that this arrangement of having her at your house is not working and that she should maybe find somewhere else to stay such as with whoever is always inviting her out.

    You haven't said whether she is single or in a relationship so it's hard to say whether that's the reason you are not invited.. but either way you are right.. it's poor manners.

    well first off it's nice of you to offer your home

    i am sure it's appreciated

    a few things:

    * sounds like maybe you were expecting something in return? maybe not something tangible, but things like being invited to events etc

    * not that i am judging, but looking at your name 'clean and sober' i wonder if you have battled with addictions in the past? if so, maybe people are not knowing how to invite you to a party that would have alcohol etc

    * i wouldn't expect the bride and groom to know what's happening (or not happening) with your house guest as they will be very busy doing their wedding 'thang'

    it was nice of you to offer up your house

    but sounds like you are pretty put out by the whole thing, sorry that happened

    I don't know. I mean, does she know you very well? Does she like you? You already said you didn't like her, so why does it matter to you? Is she required to invite you to things? Maybe I'm not understanding the question? If you don't like her, why worry about it? Why would you want to be invited? And why is SHE the one to invite you? Why shouldn't the relative who's getting married be the one to invite you?? Am I confused? I wouldn't be annoyed if I were you. You are very nice to make her feel at home!

    yah thats really annoying when you are so generous and people just dont seem to care and make you feel bad for being too nice because they take advantage of you as if you are stupid, but then don't consider you good enough to do things with or appreciate. People are dumbasses. Im srry, dont worry one day that girl will learn the hard way that she is a rud b*tch

    You'll remember next time you want to do something overly nice and generous for people you don't know well or who don't like your company as well as you'd wish.

    Have you tried telling jokes and not making dinner for them? :D

    Sure, it might be considered rude, or maybe they thought you wouldn't like to go, or maybe they don't like your choice of dates, or maybe there are other reasons. Just ask, but it is also rude to speculate about other people's motives.
