Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy) - Thank you for using Just Answer!
I do not feel that your cousin used proper etiquette, but some people are slow to catch on to the real world these days and they need to consider significant others!
If you and your cousin are close, let's give her the benefit of doubt and assume she has forgotten your significant other's name or she had one of those blank brain moments and forgot she was living with you! Most brides put on the envelope your name and guest if they don't remember your significant other's name, but maybe she thought that would make her look like she had an even bigger blank brain moment. If she sent a response card, put down two people attending with both of your names so she will remember her name! If the two of you are not close, then she might not know what your current situation is and played it safe. Either way, you should respond that you are both coming as a couple for the head count. If there are no response cards included with the invitation, just give your cousin a call and ask her if it is ok if you bring your significant other and I bet she will say YES!
Have fun at the wedding and no worries - I doubt this was anything but an oversight. If you call your cousin and tell her that both of you would like to attend and she were to say no, then you would have an issue on whether to attend or not, but I doubt that will happen. Brides these days are busy and forgetful and overwhelmed and I bet that is what happened here. If your cousin feels uncomfortable with your significant other, by asking her out right about her coming, I think she will agree.
