Sorry Nirvana - Just thought I would lay out an alternative scenario/possibility/theory.
No one knows at this point, because no one has actually spoken to her in person, nor does she care enough apparently to call the "offended parties" or anyone else...

Still seems to me like someone simply made a stupid/careless/thoughtless mistake. I can't imagine she intended to invite the men.

Who actually wrote them out? Was there a friend who helped who messed up and thought(hoped) no one would notice? Where did they get their info? Do these women have a history? Is there bad blood a backstory... Were THEY invited to similar things or were they left out?

Could this have been done with malicious intent? Certainly, if so, I wouldn't attend either. It just seems a little too cruel to me. Is it more likely that someone screwed up and just cannot admit it? That was more my guess.

I was assuming these are all wonderful people like yourself - since you are all related.
Sorry if I offended you - that certainly was not my intent.

I'll go back to not trying to help. Seems a much safer route for me.
