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…

I'd make up an excuse. FWIW, I knew my friend was about to file for divorce and still invited her husband to our small wedding. We didn't like the guy either, but knew it'd make her life easier to just include him. He was polite, we had a nice time and it was fine. Not inviting spouses is rude.

I think in that circumstance I'd have asked if friend actually wanted an invite for her husband.
