What do you think about inviting friends' spouses? Is it bad to not invite friends' spouses or is it kind of an unwritten rule that they should be invited too?

    It's a written rule that they should be invited too.  Those who aren't engaged, married or living together are more of a gray area in terms of written rules.

    Married couples are a social unit. They should be invited together. It's pretty rude to not invite a friend's spouse.

    If they're married/engaged/living together, they get an invite.

    Ditto the PPs. A person's spouse should always be invited. Same for people that are engaged or are living together. Its very rude to invite one without the other.

    Invite is mandatory for spouses, live-in bf/gfs, and any kind of long term significant other. 

    If someone has say, kind of started dating someone when you send invites, you don't have to invite them or even give them a + guest if you don't think you can take it in your count. If you can afford to, definitely give those people a +1. Its just considerate. But again, not mandatory.

    My question is why do you think its okay NOT  to invite spouses?  Are you going to be not hurt in the future if you don't get invited to a wedding but your spouse does?  No, you will be hurt.

    I wouldn't attend any function where my husband wasn't welcome.  If you're not going to invite people with their spouses, you might as well not invite them at all.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    If they're married, they are invited. You can't invite just one person if they are married....

    I woudn't want to go to a wedding if I couldn't bring my FI. It wouldn't be any fun. We are a pair; he's my other half (sorry for the cheese).

    You need to invite anyone in a relationship with their SO.  It's not just spouses.  It's BFs and GFs too.

    Uhh, really? I would be pissed if my FI was invited to a wedding without me or vice versa.
