now I'm no etiquette nazi—far from it—but the following wedding goings-on strike me as just a little gauche:

1. A 32 year old man does not get his own invitation, but is instead lumped in with his parents—with whom he does not live with. Bizarrely, his sister and her husband are not invited at all.
2. The bride-to-be's aunt is invited, but not her husband (and, no, they are not divorced.)
3. Acquaintances are invited over close family members.
4. Many people—including close family members—are invited to the bridal shower but not to the wedding or the reception.

opinions?
