[QUOTE]Wow, I've never commented before on anything but this thread is just ridiculous enough that I have to say something. Yes, at times, inviting one person and not their fiance/boyfriend/husband is rude. <strong>But when it comes down to financial reasons, it's understandable! </strong>Everyone has to live with the fact that weddings are expensive and you have to make cuts somewhere. I've been invited to coworkers' weddings where none of us got plus ones, and it was totally fine because we all just hung out with each other (sometimes it's even more fun that way). I don't think it's ALWAYS the ABSOLUTE RUDEST THING someone could POSSIBILY do. And to answer the orginial question, I was invited to a wedding without my finance, and I did nothing except go to the wedding, and my finace said "Yes! I don't have to go to another wedding!" hahaha.

<div>No. It's not. If you are inviting people to your ceremony, a reception is a thank you for coming to see you wed. You properly host ALL your guests, and that includes SO's. Weddings and receptions DO NOT have to be expensive, but you DO have to properly host your guests. Splitting up SO's for any reason is rude. No one said it was the absolute rudest thing, and we are certainly not stomping our feet.</div><div>

In Response to Re:FI invited without you?:[QUOTE]I have tried to imagine how the conversation goes when a couple realizes their guest list is too big for their venue or whatever... how do they come up with the single invites?Finally one of them's just like: Posted by CourtaniaLynn[/QUOTE]

Lol.

I thought my FI wasn't invited to my friend's RD. halfway through the night the bride came up and asked where he was....she was mortified when I said I thought he wasn't invited.

Mistakes do happen. I'd ask about it. If its not a goof, have your FI decline or not, but feel free to sideeye the hell outta that couple.

FI invited without you?
