A friend of mine who used to be one of my classmates and we used to study together for around 6 years and we have been in touch ever since, like, we occasionally have a chat on blackberry, on facebook and occasionally got to see each other in mutual friends’ functions and do have good chat. In short, there had never anything gone wrong between us and we have been on good terms. We both are basically good friends. And she did invite me to her engagement function which was a few months ago. But now, she is getting married and tomorrow is her wedding function which she herself has informed me but, in no way she has invited me to her wedding… I am just wondering as of what can be reason behind it? Initially i was quite upset and hurt but then i thought perhaps who knows there could be her personal reasons behind it. Last week she had posted picture of her haldi function on her blackberry and when i asked her if it was her haldi, then she was like, she was sorry she couldn’t invite because it was just small function between family members only. Anyhow. I don’t know why but i just feel quite hurt. I know some of our mutual friends may be invited. If you were in such a similar situation, how would you feel?
If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...

Easy you yell at your friend till she invites you 
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
You guys studied together for 6 years but communicated only occasionally....i might be wrong but it doesn't sound like a really close friendship. She could be restricted in the number of people she can invite to the wedding. It happens. Look on the bright side, saved you some money that you'd have to spend on buying a gift. You'll never know the reason why you weren't invited. Congratulate her and move on.

If Allah Ta'lah swt has removed or distanced you from your friend's life for whatever unknown reason...then there must be a good reason for it. Maybe this will benefit you, InshaAllah. Always try to look at things positively. Despite the memories you had with your friend if she doesn't want to include you in her happiness, then what can you do? Just let her go and you enjoy your life as Allah Ta'lah swt will have better plans for you, InshaAllah.
Friends will come and go in your life in this temporary world and you'll find more friends, InshaAllah.

These things can be hurtful because obviously you thought you were closer to her than she feels, but it is not the case. Time to treat the relationship more like an acquaintance until you can wrap your head around it.

Yes but we weren't just casual friends. We have been actually good friends and knew each other quite well and even visited each other's places many times.
Anyhow! It was just surprising and shocking and hurting for me as of why.. :)
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
Don't let anyone bully you into feeling bad about feeling bad. It is hurtful when it happens....esp when you see almost every one you know at the wedding and to know you're practically the only one who wasn't invited.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
Don't think negatively about it. Most times it is because of budget restriction. I myself couldn't invite many of my "acquaintances" because I had over 500 must-invite close family or friends and it is a per-person charge for seating, food, everything and adds up pretty quickly.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
As said above, it could that she wanted to invite all her friends who attended the engagement to the wedding as well...but couldn't due to budget restrictions. I've seen cases where we were invited to the wedding, but not the engagement....to one event, but not the other. I've seen cases where the whole family (kids included) were invited to one event and only the parents (excluding kids) to another event.
You friend did not betray you, tarnish your reputation, steal from you, screw you over in some way, put you down, insult you....for it warrant a confrontation, in my opinion. If you confront her over something like this (which may not have been in her control...due to restrictions) you risk making yourself look cheap. She apologized and even gave a reason for why you weren't invited.....some people don't even bother with that. She's aware that you weren't invited, so she must feel awkward as well when she talks to you. However she's still being friendly.....so congratulate her and don't bring it up.

I recommend crashing that wedding and giving her a Falcon Punch.
then eating and leaving.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
It's the budget.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
I would feel left out, but I think I wouldn't care too deeply. Don't dwell on it too much, it's probably budget restrictions.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
most likely budget. my parents have family friends whose daughter was very close to me we were very good friends. on her wedding her parents invited only my mum dad because " bahut mehnga hai kaana etc" but i was annoyed that she didnt invite me even though we were friends too. but hey who cares.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
When she told you about the wedding why didn't you asked her
Re: If you aren’t invited to a friend’s wedding…
Ask what!? 
whether can she come to the wedding or not? 
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
Tht you didn't invited me for the wedding
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
I couldn't invite a lot of friends to my wedding because of the number of family and in-laws I had to invite. Its costly so don't worry about it.
Re: If you aren't invited to a friend's wedding...
I love Mirpuri weddings...they use paper plates and cups etc and spend nothing on wedding decor' saving £1000's but will invite everyone to their weddings!!! Got to give them credit! :)
