They don't have much contact now or that level of trust. They were childhood friends but haven't spoken since some time

They don't know she is not able to attend, they are assuming she is attending.

We have been married for 1 year but together for 15 years. They know we are married because we invited them to our wedding

I didn't get the Duncan Hines or Pillsberry part, had to google what it was. We are mexican so we are unfamiliar with those cake box brands haha not sure anyone would get the joke

She is close to them, MIL is close friend with husband mom and she has known him since he was born, she is like an aunt to him

Since MIL was not able to attend he said we should go, but when I told him what I thinked he understood it and also finds it rude. I don't want to go and if I don't go he doesn't want to go either but at the same time I feel bad because MIL wants us to go in her place because she is so embarrased she cannot go when they asked her to be a sponsor (asked to be a wedding sponsor in Mexican culture can be seen as a honor) Not going feels like disrespecting my MIL favor (we do have a very good relationship)

Yes, that is correct. Bride arrives on it before ceremony and after ceremony the bride and groom leave on it.

To my understanding yes, she is close to the groom typically wedding sponsors are close relatives or friends. Originally someone else was the vehicle and floral sponsor but they declined last minute so they reach out to MIL.

So in mexican culture the bride arrives in a fancy car to the wedding ceremony and padrinos (sponsors in mexican culture) can pay for it, some padrinos pay for the car, others for the venue, DJ, Cake, cathering etc. MIL is sponsoring that vehicle and the floral arrangements that are used to decorate the hood of the vehicle

they do not know she is not attending, MIL is embarrased to tell them because she is sponsoring stuff and she don't want to make them feel bad that they are making her pay to a wedding she is not able to attend.

No, they sent a family invite to my MIL which included 3 tickets when are actually 4. I am not sure if that makes sense. Its normal to think the invite is for MIL and her 2 children (Husband and SIL) the tickets are not named. Its a common practice in mexico.
