I didn't take it that way. I think nephew knows uncle isn't coming but sent it as a courtesy. Imagine if he didn't invite him; you never know how people will react and uncle could be 1) angry or 2) hurt even if he didn't plan to attend.
I've been invited to many events where they knew I wouldn't/couldn't be there but appreciated the thought and offer.
I'd give the kid the benefit of the doubt.
I invited my grandfather to my wedding knowing that he couldn't come (93 years old, wheelchair bound, way too much hassle etc).
Much to my surprise--you'd have to have known him--he gave us a check anyway which would be 50/50 even had he attended.
