Joint Family:birthday party invitation..
2004-12-03
Name: please help me....



Hello, can you all please help me, I am giving my husband a 35th surprise birthday party at home. The problem I have is that I don't want to invite his cousin, because his cousin doesn't talk to me, his wife talks to me but he doesn't. He has two other brother that talk to me and their wivies and they all live together. So if I invite the other brothers and not him, than I think that his wife will mind and his parents, I am not having any parents come cause it is just going to be for his firends and close cousins and his sisters, brother and my brothers and sisters. I mean he was fine with me for a while and than all of a sudden he stopped talking to me for no reason, I asked everyone why he doesn't talk to me and everyone says they don't know. My husband is aware of the fact his cousin doesn't talk to me and I am sure my husband will not mind if I don't invite him. So how do I tell the other cousins to come and leave him out, or do I not call my husbands cousins and just have the firends over? What should I do, I don't want to make it worse with both families. Any advise will help alot. Thanks.

You mentioned his wife talks to you, why don't you ask her if there is anything wrong. That you have noticed a change and were concerned. It might help you decide what to do.

The main point to consider is how is this cousin with your husband...do they get along. This is your husband;s party. If they are close, u should put your feelings aside. May be by extending the invitation to him, whatever rift there is between the two of you will be mended.
Hope everything works out.

You have nothing to lose by inviting that person. There are good chances that he may not turn up if he has something against you. Since all the cousins live together,call one of them and tell him/her about the party. Also,request that person to give the message to all the rest of them. This way you are including everybody but not inviting anybody personally. Hope this works out for you,
