One comment (unless it is very very offensive) should not eliminate a spouse. I wouldnt go

I did not invite a groomsmen’s gf. Known her for years at that point and she had tried to cause issues in our relationship. Nothing was ever said.

I think it depends on what he did/said that they didn't like. The wedding of my BFF was very structured. It was a pick your meal preference on the invitation. One couple brought their 4 kids! They had to scramble to find meals for them.

I think it highly depends on the reasoning for not inviting your significant other. If the couple getting married doenst know the spouse, i can understand exluding them kinda, but if its for any malicious reasoning or even if they just get along then absolutely no!

What did he say? It must have been really bad to leave him off the guest list. That info matters in this situation.

[sayraportillo]

if you can't afford to invite the spouse, you're too broke to have a wedding with guests and just elope. Thats disrespectful af. If my spouse is not invited I'm not going. Our wedding cost us $160/ person and we invited people that were in serious relationships even if they weren't married.

If it is your husband/wife. Then you don’t go. If partner, especially new. BF/GF then it may depend on the situation. They haven’t met, or only a month old. Or college friends so not your general friend group, then it is okay not to invite the partner. It would also be okay for the partner to go if something like that. But a person who is married it is unacceptable to invite one without the other.

It depends if it's a destination wedding you invite both. If the couple doesn't know the other person or ex: coworkers, college friends she can go alone with the friends and coworkers. Weddings are expensive so a lot of people do smaller weddings.

Now I wouldn't go without my wife but she could go without me. Be a man.

[joamigg]

lol you decline the invite or you decline your marriage but you have to choose one. Sounds like an easy choice.

[creativetouchdecoremore]

Like Abby said…engaged or SPOUSE is non negotiable! Invite us both or don’t invite US at all!

[Darkrosejill]

No way...put the shoe on the other foot lol

My husband says if he’s invited or not he still wouldn’t want to go to any weddings so he would encourage me to go by myself. However if it’s the other way around I myself would be asking why but still let him go but we are from two different cultures and totally different friends as well so for us we just want the other person to have fun.
