wedding invite but partner wasn’t invited

Would you go to a wedding that you and your children were invited to without your partner/spouse ? When I asked the bride if their dad could come she responded “unfortunately we are inviting everyone on our RSVP list.” It is my best friends brothers fiancé. My best friend is currently in a relationship and asked the bride if she could bring her current boyfriends children which are two boys ! And she was able to accommodate. I’m not to sure if I really like the response from her. I’m thinking of not going just due to that. I know it’s her wedding which is totally fine but why not think about me bringing two kids without their dad for help?

If my partner is not with me & our son as we are a family I will not go even if it’s my parents no way would I go we come as a family not just me & baby so I wouldn’t go but it’s up to you I think that is rude really

thank you! I totally agree. I would not like it if it was the other way around. I will definitely send a gift and wish them the best of luck! I am not really upset because it’s their wedding and I wouldn’t want someone telling me what to do at my wedding. But at the same time I wouldn’t leave someone’s spouse/partner out like that. Very rude.

Nope. If my partner/husband, ect,. wasn’t invited and I was, then I’m not going. Doesn’t matter if it’s friends, family, family friends, ect,.

We were gonna go to visit my brother in law and his baby mama in another city (2.5 hour drive) but the day of, I was told by my husband that I wasn’t welcome. My husband didn’t bother going. He said in his own words, “If my wife’s not welcomed then neither am I .”

I went to a wedding that'd been rearranged several times because of Covid and my husband was previously invited and even went on the stag but suddenly wasn't invited to the wedding party. It was a year after the actual legal wedding that they only had with a handful of people but it was still a bit weird! I went because it was a child free wedding anyway so my husband would always have had to stay home if I went.

Why is your partner not invited? Did she tell you that? I wouldn’t go tho if my partner is not invited but everyone else

Avatar

I really don’t know . Maybe she doesn’t like him haha but I’m just not gonna go

Avatar

Nah, I wouldn’t feel the need to go if I can’t bring my husband with me. Wouldn’t even be a good time for me to be there without him.

Wow what does she have against your partner! Strange she isn't allowing them xx

I can understand not inviting children because weddings are expensive so children are often the ones left out. But the other half is very unusual and I can’t think of any reason why he wouldn’t be invited when the children are. It’s strange. I probably wouldn’t go either!

mm actually they have only met once and it was like 2 years ago at my best friends sons birthday. If you’d like the full back story, my best friend has seen me and my partner go through our disagreements which is completely normal in any relationship. so I think they talk about my relationship. Which is funny to me that they have such strong opinions about a man that takes care of his family and does right by me even though we have our disagreements because my best friends current boyfriend was cheating on her for a whole year and he’s still invited to the wedding 😭 I think she’s only accommodating my friend
Because of the fact that she’s marrying her brother . Because that is a real reason not to invite someone’s partner LOL!

This happened to me, I decided not to go. We come as a package. I sent a card and voucher

Honestly, it sounds like there is some other reason they don’t want him there. I would probably skip it - I ain’t going anywhere without my husband.

Avatar

Personally I would go somewhere that my partner wasn’t invited to as we have both joined and separate friendship groups, that’s the way it’s always been and we like it like that. Plus my partners not particularly sociable so he’ll happily send me on my way and ask when I need picking up 😂 however, the response to you asking is a little rude, and if I asked if my partner can come because he/I wanted him to and was told no then I probably wouldn’t want to go anymore no

Eh, just decline and stick it in the too hard basket. Weddings are expensive, just make an excuse. (like going out of town or you have family or have something contagious that the kids brought home) and probably the bride and groom don't have the budget for anymore people or they just don't like your partner.

and with two kids !!! One of them is a wild 16 mo old. Lol

Avatar

I love it ! Thank you 😊

I mean it honestly depends on the situation. For me if it’s boys night or girls night. But like you mentioned the response to me was a little rude. I would have thought about everyone’s partners and kids when planning a wedding and it’s a meaning full celebration why just invite me and my kids and purposely leave my partner out that I have been with for YEARS.

Avatar

The kids were invited but not the partner? That's weird.

Avatar

Personally I wouldn't go. My partners been to weddings that I wasn't invited to though, so I guess it depends how you feel and who they are to you.

I wouldn’t go
