Invite co-workers husbands/kids?

Has anyone invited just the female coworkers without husbands and kids?  Did they have a great time or should I invite the husbands/kids too?

You need to invite the husbands because couples are a social until and it's very rude not to invite both.   You should also invite long term bf/gf.  

Don't invite the kids.

It doesn't matter if they would have a great time or not. Married couples or those in long term relationships should always be invited. If your female coworkers decide to attend with their significant others, that is fine but you have to at least extend the invitation.

If you're inviting the children of all your other guests, then you need to also invite co-workers' kids. If you're having a no-kids affair, then, of course, you don't need to invite them.

However, you must always invite social units (married couples, those in long-term relationships, etc.) together. It's very rude to exclude one member of a couple from an invitation to a social event.

If you invite somebody that's married/engaged/living together, you invite their spouse. It would be incredibly rude of you not to.

On the same note, I don't think you have to invite their kids, especially if you've never met them.

if someone is married, their spouses should be invited.

When I get married, I will expect for my husband to be invited or I wouldn't attend.

The kids don't have to be invited.

I agree with PP's. Spouses or significant others should be invited. If you are not allowing kids don't invite the kids, if  you are allowing kids it would be strange to tell them they can not bring their children when there will be other ones there. Or you could just leave the kids off of the invite and hope they don't try to show up with them.

You have to invite their spouses, however, kids are not all-or-nothing so you don't have to invite their children.

You definitely need to invite the spouses of your coworkers.

You don't need to invite your coworker's children though.

Children aren't an all or nothing group.  It's fine to invite the children that you're close to only.  We invited the children of our family members but not the children of our friends.   We have a relationship with our family members and not with our friends' children.
