Hey guys,
My FI's cousin is getting married this weekend. It is on the other side of the country and unfortunately we are unable to make it but I wanted to send them a gift. I found their registry online, sent a gift with a "we are so sorry to have to miss the wedding but we wish you the best on your day!" type message. After I sent it, it occurred to me that we never actually got an invitation. We saw FI's aunt and uncle (parents of the groom) in June and they talked about how they wish we could come and they were excited to spend the time with family. FI's parents received a print invitation. The couple is quite young and the engagement and wedding all happened within a matter of several months so I'm thinking maybe FI and I were included on his parents invite (I never asked). I know that is technically an etiquette breech but I'm not offended, as I don't think they would have realized that they were supposed to invite separately. When they were first engaged, FI's uncle sent a message to the family announcing that the wedding would be in ___ state in ___ month. Anyway, I guess my question is, was I wrong to assume we were invited and did I screw up by saying we were sad to miss the wedding? I don't want them to feel embarrassed by the message!
