need advice

I got invited to a bridal shower and rsvp'd yes. I just saw the bride to be post a picture online of her first batch of responses to her wedding and I never got an invite. The shower is a surprise. Should I text the sister who's planning the wedding and ask about this? I don't want to go to the shower if I'm not going to the wedding and if I'm on the B list I feel like I shouldn't have been invited to the shower just in case I don't get used for the wedding.

I think this really depends on how close you are to the bride or what your relation is. If you're invited to the shower most likely you are getting an invite to the wedding. It would be bad etiquette not to invite you in my opinion even if you were on a B list. It's also possible the bride is sending invites in batches? It's a tough call but I feel like if you ask they are just going to send you the invite whether they were going to or not anyway.

Well you would assume since you were invited to the shower that you would be invited to the wedding, however, some people are completely clueless. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking the sister. I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a shower knowing I wasn't invited to the wedding.

ITA. Maybe your wedding invite got lost in the mail?

I agree with them. It's an extremely awkward situation but I wouldn't want to go if I wasn't even invited to the wedding.

I agree! When my mom sent out my shower invites she did so in batches. Maybe her sister did the same and yours is on its way. I would hope that that they know if you invite someone to the shower that they're invited to the wedding, but people can be tactless . Theres no harm in asking her sister, bc I would want to know if I was invited simply for a present and not to the actual wedding.

I was careful not to invite anyone from my B list to the shower for this exact reason. I would def ask the sister. I wouldn't want to go to the shower if I wasn't invited to the wedding. It's awk either way, sorry you're in this position!

I would definitely ask the sister, I wouldn't want to show up to someone's bridal shower when I wasn't invited to their wedding.
Even though the shower is a surprise I would find it a little strange that the sister didn't at least have a list from the bride of who to invite.
My girls asked me for a list of who I want invited to my bachelorette party and shower and then they said great thanks don't ask anything else.

I agree with everyone else, asking the sister wouldn't be a big deal, and it's best to double check and be sure!
