I know I shouldn't be offended...
but I just can't help it!!!
The wedding invitation came in the mail today for DH's youngest sisters wedding, and she addressed it to B & K Hislastname.
I know it probably wasn't meant to offend, but I didn't change my name after the wedding, and she was there when I told his family this. They were somewhat offended, but I have my reasons, so I didn't. Since then she has had a happy engagement card from us, with both our names listed on the back and surely there would have been Some discussion with her parents (who certainly know I didn't ) about the names on the guest list? Not just our names, but everybodies.
I know it's petty...but, Grrrrr.

Re: I know I shouldn't be offended...
This. Sorry tho. :-( I'd be bothered too. I mean, SIL is family now; she should take extra care, and be more thoughtful.
WE all stressed out PLENTY when addressing our invites properly. Remember?!

Aww, that sucks! Do you think she did it on purpose or was it just an oversight? I am not changing my name either and I think most people know and understand. But yeah, we get a lot of random stuff addressed to Mr. & Mrs. I know it is the standard assumption and I'm okay with that. But for family who should know better, I would be annoyed too.
Hopefully she'll figure it out as she starts planning for the invitations and such. I know I stressed over making sure I got everyone's name right! Are you going to mention it to her?
I don't think it was on purpose. I hope it was more stupidity or laziness. She was Certainly there when I told the ladies of the family that I wasn't changing my name, and there was a rather lengthy and awkward conversation later on with the Mother about how offensive and strange she thought it was that I wouldn't take DH's name. So I find it hard to believe that the information wouldn't have been repeated again at some point. I mean, we all know that people in families talk...we all do it!
I don't think I will get the chance to mention it to her in person. We don't really talk...and I doubt DH would bring it up unless questioned about it. His sisters can be fairly unstable sometimes and he prefers not to rock the boat.
