Wedding Invite Blues

Hi Bald Man

I was invited to a good friend’s wedding as was another one of my friends. My friend’s invitation included their spouse.  I have a serious significant other, but I am not married. My invitation did not include a guest. I found this a bit rude, but I don’t want to make a big deal of it. What is the etiquette as far as wedding guest invitations are concerned, and should I be offended?

Sincerely,

Slighted

 

Dear Slighted,

Don’t be offended.  If you happen to get married at some point and have the pleasure of spending thousands of dollars on a wedding, you will realize how difficult it it to make a guest list, and have it fit in your budget.

The bride and groom had to make some tough choices no doubt. Don’t be offended, I am guessing you are not the only one in this boat.  It is most likely that they decided spouses were in, girlfriends/boyfriends were out.  Just go, get drunk, dance, and have a good time, and don’t create any drama. This day belongs to the bride and groom, its not about you.

Sincerely,
Bald Man
