I thought I would poll to check on a quick wedding etiquette question that I was wondering about.
I have a friend who is getting married in three weeks. In college (recently) we were very good friends and hall mates. She now lives locally, but I don't get to see her as often as would be nice due to busy schedules and life's movements. That being said, I thought it would be nice to receive a wedding invite (I also know the groom slightly, and the groom's family well), but I didn't expect one.
Then I got the invite to her bridal shower several weeks ago and it was a pleasant half-surprise. I got her a nice gift, and had a great time catching up with her. Since then, I kind of expected a wedding invite....I know where she is having the wedding and also know that she is not space or guest restricted.
Long story short, wedding is in three weeks, and no invite. I realize there is still possibly a little time, but I was a little disappointed. If you are invited to a bridal shower locally, is it etiquette to also send the local wedding invite? It occurred to me that my etiquette expectations may be wrong on this.

Yikes.
I wonder if the invite got lost in the mail, do they have a wedding website? If so you may find your name in the guest list and can also RSVP on that. I'm pretty sure you are invited to the wedding, something just went wrong.
Thanks so much for the replies, ladies! The bride-to-be is a really sweet girl....I wasn't angry, just a little disappointed. And hey....the invite might come really late still.
The suggestion about the wedding website is good. I'll have to
