Has this ever happened to you?
So DH and I are knee deep in our wedding season....we were at one on Saturday and have 3 more to attend before the end of September. Two of them are family weddings and I'm excited for both of them. The other one I'm not so excited for...it's my friend's wedding, who I've known since middle school. The issue is this....when the invite came, it was only for me, it was addressed only to me and the response card made it clear there was only 1 seat reserved. I called my best friend, who is engaged, and her FI wasn't invited either. DH was pretty offended...we've been out to dinner with her and her FI and they were both at our wedding. I feel bad even going and the only reason I am is because my best friend is going. I've just never heard of not inviting someone's HUSBAND to a wedding...I mean we are kind of a package deal lol. Would it be totally ignorant for me to go and leave after dinner and stuff? The day is also my family's annual clam bake and DH will be there and my plan is to go there after the wedding. Thoughts, opinions??

I think that is so rude Lindsay (what your friend is doing, not you) I think it would be totally appropriate to do what Mandah suggested or what you are asking. Our rule was that if you weren't engaged, married, or living together than it was just you who was invited. I am shocked that she and her FI were at your wedding and she didn't invite your hubby! I know times are tight and we all know about wedding budgets...if she can't afford both, than neither should be invited. When is this wedding?

I have nothing to add and agree with everyone else. That is completely insensitive and rude. That said, if you WANT to go in order to hang out with your best friend, then go but don't feel guilty for one second about leaving early.
And p.s. please only spend half as much on a gift as you would have if DH was invited
THIS!!!!
Thank you all for the feedback...I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was ridiculous. The wedding is Labor Day weekend and I already sent the RSVP back...however, I DID make sure DH was ok with me going without him. Like I said, I'm only going b/c my best friend is also going and we both do love our friend and want to be there on her wedding day. But I do plan on cutting out after dinner and spending the rest of the evening with my DH and family!
And funny you say that about the gift thing...that was the first thing DH said lol.
