Depending on who the invite was sent from I'd rather ask than to assume intentions and have another family feud erupt. Unfortunately most people are not up on all the etiquette do's and don'ts - (they just think they are) and I could see plenty of people doing this (sending invite to parents and assuming the unmarried daughter would go on that invite) - that's their cheap way of not sending a separate invite & now extending your friend the option of bringing a guest.
Now if her married siblings were not invited I would assume they were cutting the list at aunts/uncles- with no cousins included and not stress about it. The fact that her siblings were invited with spouses is the reason why I suggested a call could have been made. Suppose her invite had gotten lost in the mail or damaged? The only way the invitee would know is if you called and asked about it (even in a round about way). She would be upset for no reason and her cousin would also be mad at her also because she never rsvp'd. Both people mad for no reason.
{Let me clarify-if you are related to XY celebrity 3 times removed by marriage and you never seen this person before-don't call looking for an invite (LOL), but if this is your first cousin & there isn't another reason for the exclusion just ask-all they can say is no}
I'm only suggesting this because I've met family members at funerals for the first time because of blow outs surrounding weddings years before I was even born (so they stopped talking/coming around)-its so not worth it.
