It's a thoughtful gift, and this bride is so lucky to have an aunt that's sweet and generous. It's not everyday someone gets money from their family, the bride's father and step-mother should be happy for her. Instead, they're making everything about themselves. It's pretty petulant to focus on pedantics in the wedding invitation, if you ask me.

The thing that gets me is that the wedding invitation has actually nothing to do with the money the bride's aunt gifted her. If they have a problem with the wording of the invitation, they can talk to their daughter/step-daughter about it, instead of dragging the aunt into it. Imagine the shock of being told to demand your money back from your niece. Truth be told, the father or his wife can't demand either of the ladies to do anything with the money, the money is theirs.

Father demands daughter return a large wedding gift sum from her aunt after he discovers she excluded her stepmom from the wedding invitation: “It's wrong for you to fund this insult”
Welcome back internet ladies and gentlemen. Everyone loves weddings; the convivial joy, Dionysus-esque atmosphere, smiles from ear to ear, and we could never forget the beautiful bride in her flowing white gown of symbolic purity. Though the whole day should be a celebration of love, it's often riddled with drama and family dynamics that nobody asked for. Anything from who's invited, who's the maid of honor, to what color the bridesmaids dresses have to be can be confounded to create tension, hostility, and uninvited guests. The slew of problems that can be caused from the entire notion of weddings is a long list, but in the story below, wedding invitations and money somehow become a problem for the father of the bride.
The story centers around a woman who's getting married. Her aunt, the protagonist, has gifted her a large sum of money as a grand gesture of her love. Now, unrelated to the gift, the bride's father is offended at the wedding invitation, in that it doesn't include his wife's name as "mother of the bride." Rather, it explicitly says, "Father of the bride's wife."
