Birthday party invite etiquette
I'm doped up on vicodin at the moment and have been puzzling over birthday invite etiquette. Googling hasn't been successful. Should spouses/SOs also be invited to a birthday party like with weddings as long as the party isn't an all-male or all-female or best friends only type of thing?
DH received a FB birthday invite from an acquaintance (female) who I am also FB friends with (I didn't get the invite). She also texted him to find out if he was coming with no mention of me. I'm puzzling over the fact that she's had to cancel her b-day party twice now due to lack of people rsvp-ing yes, but didn't think to maybe invite the spouses and increase the number of possibles.
Re: Birthday party invite etiquette
Unless it's specified that it's just one of us (girls/guys only) I always assume that DH and I come as a package. If one of us is not invited and it's not a one-sex-only or very small BFF affair, I actually probably wouldn't go. I think it's extremely rude not to invite significant others when it's a larger/mixed event.
Honestly though, etiquette aside, I think everyone has their own way of inviting, so if I were you, I'd have DH ask.

Chelbel: I might have assumed I was invited too except that she used the singular of 'you' instead of the plural when she text messaged DH to ask him if he was coming. And DH had also wondered why I wasn't invited and why he was invited in the first place.
I just can't figure out why she wouldn't invite as many people as possible since she's had to cancel twice. And my brain isn't fully functioning.
Personally, I don't like the assumption that because I'm friends with someone, DH is too - we have separate friends and separate lives along with couple friends so I wouldn't always assume DH is invited everywhere I go. In this specific situation though, if it's a big invite to everyone, I don't know why she wouldn't invite you.
And yes, vicodin trumps any of this :-)
