Ok...so I have pretty much set my guest list and added people here and there and came across something where I needed advice.... So my old roommate just got married. She met the guy this May maybe June (yes only 2-3 months ago) and is already married ...... soo I invited her to my wedding before all of this....Now I didn't want to invite her husband because #1 we are already going over our limit and #2 I've never met or seen this guy in my life. What do I do? Do I have to invite him? Should I write her an email explaining the situation? Ugh Please help lol.... TIA

    Yes, you need to invite him since it's her husband. Put the shoe on the other foot. Wouldn't you be upset if someone invited you to a wedding without your FI?

    I would usually agree... but the fact that theyve known each other less than 3 months is what kills me... also.. were spending about 100 bucks a plate.....

    I agree with pp, you do need to invite him since he is her husband. If you are really tight on the guest list, is there an unmarried guest who you have listed with a "guest" that can be removed?

    I have to agree with the other girls. Proper etiquette does say that you should invite the fiance or husband. Even if she only has known him for 3 months they are married. So I would say that if you're going to invite your old roommate then you should invite him too.

    A husband and wife are a social unit, you really cannot invite one without the other.  Sucks, but it would be rude not to invite him.  Sorry Evie...I know it sucks!

    I had this problem too; We were inviting my mom's close friend and her daughter..Then there's the husband, but my mom and I have never met the guy! But they are a unit..Whether you know him or not, you should invite him..If your FI's friend was having a social event and he/she didn't know you, but KNEW of you and didn't invite you, how would you feel?

    It sucks but you need to invite him. I spent over 100 a plate as well so I know exactly how you feel. I was VERY stirct on my guest list and I did not invite anyone with a plus 1 unless I knew the plus one and considered them a friend. I did not have to deal with your particular situation and I know that it SUCKS but they are married. If they were engaged I would say do not invite him but it is her husband...it is the right thing to do and it is going to save you an argument.

    yeah, you pretty much have to invite him and you can't uninvite her.  It sucks but suck it up.  It would be extremely rude not to invite him.
