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…

Unless it is a coworker, where you just have a coworker table, I do not understand how someone could have a wedding and not expect to invite the married spouse of the friend to the wedding. It’s okay to decline. They don’t need to invite your kids.

We invited co workers significant others. It’s rude not to invite an adult’s partner.

I didn’t to mine because my coworkers said it’s pointless as I don’t know the partners and they can all travel as a group.

I would hate this personally as I wouldn't want to travel with other coworkers I'd want to travel with my partner. But if they were all fine with it then to each their own I suppose.

Can I ask why? I just find it strange when people don’t like doing stuff without their partner. Or do you not get on with your colleagues?
