question about family.............?
I am just wondering if when you are NOT invited to all of your cousins weddings, BDay parties, etc. Do I have the right to be a little ticked off? My family says no, or has an excuse like Oh we didnt know ur address or something stupid. I have lived on my own for over 12 years and believe that I deserve a separate invitation to events and the invite should not come by word of mouth. I dont care about informal events but when it comes to weddings and bigger events I think it is just common courtesy to send an invitation. I take it like I didnt get an invite so I must not be wanted there. I am just curious if the way I am acting is crazy or what?
i feel it is different because I have lived away from my parents for over 10 years and have my own family. on my husbands side it mostly word of mouth but we do stuff all of the time together so we are in tune to what is happening on the family/ party circuit.

Respectfully having lived on your own for 12 years certainly entitles you to receive your own invitation at your own current residing address.
What you don't make mention of in your post is whether or not they are sending an invite to your parents home for all the family members.
Although not proper etiquette, some people do this to save time for additional invitations and money. For years, even though I had not lived at my mothers house, family members would send the invitation to the house I grew up in, and not at my residing address. It used to really piss me off when this happened, and I felt if they were too cheap and rude to send me a separate invite, then my husband and I would simply not attend the event. I think it is incredibly rude and disrespectful and lacks a great deal of etiquette on behalf of your family members that can't be bothered to do things properly. My husband and I just decided that if they refused to do extend mere common courtesy to us, then we would not bother with them.

Wat we do in our family is..
We invite head of the femily that he or she is called wid family..
Even our married cousins are not given separate invitations....
So it depends from family to family....
I dont think there can b a sure shot advice for this....
