My (27) SIL (28) is getting married this weekend. I have been left out of a lot, probably because MIL (60) incorrectly assumed I left her out of planning our wedding. My husband (29) doesn’t know the extent of the problems and the wedding is happening soon.

Let the guests wonder why they would exclude you. Be charming and affable. Let them look bad.

I might be missing something as I barely skimmed the post but as a guest, I would not notice or think anything of the sister-in-law of the bride not being involved in planning the wedding.

When my sister-in-law got married, I and the other SILs were not involved and thought nothing of it. When my sister got married, one of her SILs officiated but her other SILs and my spouse were just guests, despite all the SIL being a tight-knit family and as far as I know, noone thought anything of it.

It's not a common expectation IMO that you ought to be included in the planning of your SIL's wedding.
