She is goddess of strife.
She was a trouble maker.
Eris, the goddess of discord, was likely not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis because her presence was associated with strife and conflict. The couple wanted to celebrate their union peacefully and avoid any potential disruptions that Eris might cause. This exclusion ultimately led to her infamous act of throwing the golden apple inscribed "To the fairest," which sparked the events leading to the Trojan War.
It all depends on what kind of relationship the bride to be has with the groom's mother. If they are close, then why not, but if they have a distant relationship, out of respect, she should be invited; but most of time she most likely will not attend.
A wedding
It is disrespectful to the host to go to a party if you are not invited; likely they have good reason for selecting the guests they have invited and leaving others out.
A wedding
In this situation, I would prioritize my best friend's wedding reception, as it's a significant milestone in their life and a commitment I likely made in advance. I would inform my colleagues about the wedding and express my regrets for missing the boss' surprise birthday dinner, possibly suggesting that I celebrate with my boss at another time. It's important to honor personal relationships while maintaining professionalism.
Yes most likely. It will be somewhere
Yes. That was likely a strong motive in having the wedding in the first place.
CHILDEN
There is no requirement to invite any single person to a wedding except the bride, the groom and the officiating authority. However, there are strong social expectations that certain people will be invited (parents of the wedding couple, etc.). Whether or not the godparents would expect to be invited depends mostly on how involved the godparents were in the person's life. If the godparents were like second parents (spent a lot of time with the child, babysat, took them to events, was present at major events like graduations, etc.) then it would be quite insulting to not invite them. However, if the godparents were present for the ceremony but otherwise not involved in the child's life, then it is socially acceptable in most circles to not invite the godparents. There may be some negative reaction from others involved in planning the wedding - parents, most likely, who expect their child to honor the absentee godparents.
