  • I would go. It was probably just a simple mistake, and I don't think that they meant anything by it. If you'd like to instigate simply because they did that, so be it, you have an excuse right there. But morally, I think that the thing to do is to try to go.
  • Of course it counts as an invitation! Are you insulted that your relatives didn't acknowledge your independence by sending you a separate invitation? If so,I think pouting because you did not receive an invitation personally is a pretty petty reason to stay away from from your grandmother's party. This is her party after all not an occasion for you to assert your adulthood by having a childish tantrum. It's quite likely the party organizers have a good deal to do and sent a single inclusive invitation to the families of her children, other relatives and friends because it was more convenient and it saved a little money. Relax
  • Yes, in a full sense of right and wrong, they have erred. However, you have the opportunity to be gracious and go, if you would have either way. That they thought of you, and desired your presence, rather overrides their lack of knowledge or effort to mail you a separate invitation. This is a case of ego over error. For you to speak of, or make a big deal over their error would be a bigger breach of true graciousness than their mistake.
