    I think the OP is transferring some of her social issues to her son and needs to stop worrying.

    I think you are correct :o

    But I also think you have your son's best interests at heart. I hope you did something nice with him today to take his mind off it?

    So you would happen to have enough space for a whole team bare one and you would exclude that one randomly?


    Perhaps not randomly but deliberately?

    As has been pointed out there is no suggestion it is just him who hasn't been invited.

    OP, out of curiosity, has your son got a GF?
    Sometimes events occur and couples get the invites and singles are 'omitted'.

    He is 20. No, no girlfriend... That was his thinking :( He is now getting snap chats from folk he knows at the wedding :( albeit folk he expected to be there.

    The couple are popular and well known, they can't have everyone at the wedding. He understands that, one of the reasons he didn't expect and didn't look for an invite.

    Having looked at a recent photo of the team, I expect he is the only main player that won't have been invited :(. I truly don't think it will have been intentional, but hurts none the less.

    After all the OP wasn't invited although her sister was - and she doesn't seem to think that is strange.

    Missed this bit.

    I didn't think this strange in the slightest. No one else from my immediate family was invited and never expected to be. My sister has been a close friend of the bride for many years.

    i know the parents of the team and they are not there.

    A few thoughts
    1) if they disliked your son and it was commonly known among the team, I doubt they will send snapchats. They would be cautious
    2) perhaps they were tight on numbers and thought the sister going was representative of the family

    Does sister not query why son not invited?

    Also son is 20. Time to cut the apron string and not do so much worrying for him

    I don't think as a parent you ever stop worrying about your children, whatever age they are.
