I was very much upset to know that , I didn't get an Invitation for my best friends sisters wedding. How can he forget me ? How a friend can forget to call his inmate for his joyous occasions? I am not angry with him , but it was annoying to know that I was not called. I still justify him saying that he was busy and for got to call me. Have you ever been in this situation , how would you have responded to him ?

I have told everyone not to invite me as I find it quite cumbersome to go through that process. Traffic being as it is and roads so bad that entire experience is a nightmare. Added to that is the food that is served so late, and sometimes the whole programme is boring. There are weddings where there is a bee-line to wish the couple.

well, maybe its better if you will think that it is his sister's wedding and not his, so he does not have any right to meddle with his sister's guest list. Maybe the couple to be wedded just wanted an intimate celebration with just her and her husband's close family and friends. or you can ask your best friend how did the wedding went, there must be valuable reason for not asking you to come...

Recently, one of my friends didn't invite me for her sister's wedding either. The wedding was at Guruvayoor and this friend and I are settled in Bangalore though we both are basically from Trivandrum. I know she didn't invite our gang because she knew we couldn't go and also because it was a small and quick wedding. But the funny part is...that she knew I would be at Guruvayoor for another wedding around the same time.
If I were in your position....I would have jokingly mentioned to my friend that he forgot to invite me and that I am upset and then reassure him that I understand how busy he was. But if he's really your best friend, he probably thought you didn't need to be invited and that you would go if you knew about it and he had not sent a formal invite.

Hello manoj,
There may be a chance to miss the invitation, in case he posted it, you don’t receive it or he prepared it and forget to send the same because he is busy when his sister is getting married, misplacement is also happens. In that case he even doesn’t aware that you are not invited. There is nothing wrong to call the friend and asked about the preparations of marriage (since he is your best friend). I think it will help to avoid the communication problem (if there is any).
One of my friends invited her marriage one day before that also in night. If the marriage is tomorrow she called me tonight for inviting. I felt so odd; her reason was she could not find out my phone number. She was with me in this place and I treated her like my younger sister, then she left to abroad for job. She reached her native before one month she could get my phone number only one day before the marriage. I really felt so angry and insulted because she used to call me in office and home frequently so I could not believe her words and even forget to wish/bless her though she asked me to pray for her. Now I felt very bad on my behaviour to her on her special day. What to do I am a human being with normal feelings and I can’t hide what comes in my mind.

I think you don't have to feel this way. I mean, this is his sister's wedding, so maybe his sister didn't want to invite you. After all it's not your friend's decision because he's not the one who got married.
It would be different if you didn't get invitation to his wedding. That's a reason for you not to talk to him ever again.

Hi. Manojknair. I have been in a few situations where I was supposed to be in a wedding, but I did not get the chance to. And other times I did not get invited to a wedding at all. It is just hard to be in a wedding and not get any notification about being in one. I think that your best friend has no intention of inviting you. Since this was their sister's wedding, then he should have asked that you be invited to her wedding.

You shouldn't be mad at your friend. As everybody said, maybe it wasn't his decision on who to be on that guest list. The best thing you can do is talk to your friend and ask him to be honest when answering why you weren't invited.
