Wedding invitation question
Our daughter is getting married soon and wants a very small wedding. her cousin is getting married slightly before our daughter and we have been invited and are attending, but our daughter refuses to invite them to her wedding. Did we raise a completely socially graceless "princess"?

How many cousins does she have. If she invites one she may look like she is snubbing others, but if she desires a small wedding she may be able to say that she is just going to have immediate family.
I wanted a small wedding but when I decided to add cousins and aunts & unlcles on both families, mine and my wifes we added a ton of people.
Having a large wedding when I really just wanted a small one is one of my only regrets in life. Let your daughter stick to her guns.

No; I have an Aunty that also chose to have a very small wedding of which consisted of only hers and her husbands parents, siblings, and their siblings kids. There were no cousins or friends, so I can see your daughter's reasoning in not inviting that certain cousin to her "very small wedding."

I agree with Cherise. Find out why she doesn't want her cousin invited if you are interested, but be prepared for an answer that you might not want to hear. There must be history between the two cousins of which you are unaware.

The times have changed... we are not in the same social structure as before. In these times traditions are made by each couple getting married. If she wants it small, she gets it small and it does not matter what your opinion of her is. Not to seem harsh at all. In the flip side you were raised in a different social structure and like to be doing things the 'right' way. Think about where that 'right' way came from. All over the world there are many traditions. Which one are you believing in and why. Likely it was media based and you may want to reconsider your reasons for thinking she is being socially ungracious. Who's social standards and why? A real princess would follow her heart and make choices based on her true belief system not 'what is expected' from the Jones or the Smiths...
Love her for her choices and do not ruin the planning process for her. This is 'hopefully' the only time you get to do this with her. Love her and support her choices and stop worrying about what others think.
Have Fun! and love these moments ~
