How would you feel?

I really agree with NHdisneylover.

OP, I mean this kindly so please don't take it as being rude. It seems as though you're really quite determined to lay this at your SIL's door. Granted, you know her and we don't, so you may be spot on that she somehow instigated this. But isn't it better to give her the benefit of the doubt, especially since so many posters here have said that they'd expect a husband or wife to pass the invitation on to their spouse instead of expecting the IL's to make a separate call?

I mean, you can either be happy and give them the benefit of the doubt or you can be unhappy and believe that they intentionally left you out. Since you'll probably never know exactly what happened, which would you rather be?

I agree with both NHdisneylover & NMAmy.

My question is: what did you say to your DMIL? Did you mention to her that you would have been happy to have gone without your DH? Did you ask her to please call you directly in the future? I would have. I would chalk this episode up to miscommunication & tht they didn't know to call me directly. If it happened a second time after I asked to be called directly, then I'd know I wasn't wanted & was purposly excluded.
