Cream, you're right too, your fiance should have received an invitation. Spouses, fiances, and partners living together must always be invited together. If you two are not living together, he should get a separate invitation sent to his address. How recently did you get engaged? Does your cousin know you are engaged? Surely he does...

I became engaged on Feb 12th, the day before my birthday.
Invitations went out a month or so later. We talked about my engagement at her bridal shower in March. The wedding invitation had two names: mine and my sister's. We're both over 16, 21, 25, 29...
My mother and my sisters were also invited without dates.
She is a very nice and successful woman, but she just doesn't realize how to do things. She doesn't seem to have family, and the groom's mother passed away many years ago so she has no one to guide her. I kind of feel bad for her. I'm not taking it personally although my sister and mother are. My sister and I had received the bridal shower invitation, and called to say that we will all attend including our mother. She always attends family events. We had not realized that our mother had not received an invitation to the shower which arrived four days later.
Yeah, this is a mess. I am looking at it as how I should not plan my wedding. On the up side the wedding is at a nice facility on Long Island so the food should be good.
I'm just afraid that when I get there, they will ask where my fiance is.
