Does this mean that your burn book is gold plated?

Platinum. Gold is the semi's

Hold up. You couldn't have gone even if you had been invited? So you're upset that he didn't give you the opportunity to decline his invitation?

I think it really depends on the curcumstance of how you were tol about the date.  Certainly mentioning the date of the wedding doesn't obligate the groom to send an invitation.  If he verbally said that he was going to invite you or asked you to keep the date clear, that is a whole different stroy.  

Based on what you have shard, he didn't breach etiquette.  However, you still feel hurt and that's okay.  I do know exactly how you feel.  Someone I know got married and invited a couple of my friends but not me.  We all used to hang out in college.  As we got older I didn't stay as close to her as some of our mutual friends.  It hurt a bit, but I understood. I especially understood since most wedding receptions cost  $100+ pp.  Anyway, try not to think about it too much.

<em>I couldn't have gone to the actual wedding. I'm not upset about that, as it was really family only and very small.  This is the At Home Recepion, which I absolutely could have gone to, and was planning to, especially since my friend made it a point to email me the date of the party.  </em>

It appears so.  ;)   But it's okay.  I got enough response that I feel okay about being bummed, and a little hurt. I'll just pick the wedgie out of my Big Girl Panties and move on.

NOT. COOL. AT. ALL.

On his part....you're fine.  Shame on him.  A verbal STD is still a STD. 

This happened to a friend/co-worker of mine; she was deeply offended and rightly so.
