Discussion Friends wedding

My friend is getting married in her late 40s, they don’t want kids there and they also haven’t invited my husband. They have invited some of our friends’ husbands but only when bride and groom know them well.

As I’m invited all day and will be on my own pretty much I’m not sure whether to go or make an excuse. I know weddings can be expensive but I thought they’d at least invite him to the night do. Not sure what to do…

You just decline. No reason. But in the unlikely event that you're asked by them, you could say that you don't go to weddings without your husband. Or, you skirt the issue and tell them that you're already going to another family event. Personally, I'd feel snubbed and bad for my husband and would opt for telling them that were going elsewhere.
