To reply to sarcastic family member who wasn’t invited to wedding?

[Pithyresponse]

I’m itching to respond but I know it would be childish.

A relative we’ve met only once has posted a sarcastic message on another family member’s social media (likely not realising we can see it) saying “please thank Pithy and Mr Pithy for our wedding invite but it didn’t arrive in time 😂”

We’re more amused than annoyed. It was a lovely small wedding with about 50 close family and friends. Sarcastic relative seemed really nice but we’ve literally met them once some years ago (it’s a somewhat long lost family scenario).

So, do we leave it? Or reply saying sorry you weren’t invited? Or think up a pithy response?

If they are creating a narrative with others that they perceive you to be unkind not inviting them (I don’t think you’ve been unkind, but I’m assuming their public post on someone’s social media means they are taking it that way and making sure people know), I would just ignore it. If you rise to it and write any comment it’s going to either encourage their negative narrative of you or it’s going to make them think they are successfully getting at you in some way. It’s not worth a response.
