Tyne Daly says her brother Tim Daly’s wedding guest list was so “exclusive” that even she wasn’t invited.
Tim, 69, tied the knot with his longtime partner — and Madam Secretary costar — Téa Leoni in July without his older sister in attendance.
“There was a small wedding. Very exclusive, very, very private,” the 79-year-old actress tells PEOPLE during an exclusive interview at the TV Academy’s inaugural Televerse Festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Tyne says the wedding was at Tim and Leoni’s “beautiful apartment in New York,” and that the couple is planning to throw a party to celebrate their marriage with more of their loved ones.
Explaining why she wasn’t at the nuptials, Tyne says, “They only had people that they gave birth to or people who gave birth to them,” seemingly implying that Tim and Leoni only invited their parents and children.
“However, I’m going to see the newlyweds quite soon,” she adds, revealing that she’s making “a Christmas present” for Leoni, 59.

Amy Brenneman, who joined Tyne for the interview, revealed that Tyne was knitting something for her new sister-in-law. Tyne and Brenneman teamed up for a conversation at the festival that explored their work together on Judging Amy, among other topics.
Tyne, however, was mum about the details of the gift. “It’s a secret. I can’t tell you what the present is. Nobody likes surprises anymore,” she says.

Tim and Leoni married in an intimate family ceremony in New York on July 12, the actress’ rep confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.
Following the nuptials, a guest shared a photo online of the bride, holding a small bouquet of white flowers, posing with her 26-year-old daughter, West Duchovny, whom she shares with ex David Duchovny.

While chatting with PEOPLE at Televerse, Tyne and Brenneman, 61, also opened up about reuniting for their festival conversation after last seeing each other several years ago.
Tyne admitted that she and her former costar have not been proactive about keeping in touch over the two decades since Judging Amy concluded in 2005.
“You make all these promises, and then life happens,” she tells PEOPLE. “She was busy having babies during the show. I was having babies during my show. We’ve drifted apart.”
However, Brenneman quickly chimes in that it “takes about two seconds” for the pair to reconnect and pick up with their friendship again.
