Is this odd or nah?

Sara, on February 14, 2020 at 11:56 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
Just received a save the date for one of my husbands friends. It was addressed to just him which I thought was strange since the engaged couple came to our wedding so they know we’re married. My husband knows the guy from college, I’ve met him a few times and the girl only once. But I’d assume we’re both going to be invited since we’re married? And oddly enough the wedding is on our anniversary weekend about an hour away 🙃 but I’m not bothered by that. Just was strange to see the envelope addressed to just him and not us as a couple. Once we get the invite I’m sure it’ll be more clear though. Anyone have a similar situation?

    I would assume you are invited, it may have just been a mistake. He could always reach out to confirm with his friend too.

    I would not assume that I was going to be invited just because we were married. Should you be, well yes of course but there have been so many discussions on here about people (brides) not thinking that people in relationships should be invited along with their SO without question.

    It might be a mistake because when my husband got the invite for one of our friends it was addressed to him and it didn't even show my name either. And when we opened it is when it said my name

    Yes that’s happened to me. I’m assuming it didn’t state how many seats were reserved? But when my fiancé asked they said it was because they just assumed we puke know I was invited and they didn’t want to put Mr. And Mrs xxxxx because we aren’t married yet.

    To answer your question, yes, it's odd. And rude.

    Wait to see whose name or names is/are on the invitation. If your name isn't on it, you weren't invited and you don't go. Your husband phones and give his regrets, saying that he doesn't attend social events to which his wife isn't invited.

    Honestly, with some of our save the dates on my FH’s side I just addressed it to who he told me too. He couldn’t remember some friend’s wife’s names so we did send out some just addressed to the friend. And in some cases, the name he gave me was incorrect (the amount of misspelled last names we had made me so mad at the time, we definitively had a few I had to get corrected before the formal invites went). In any even, I forced him to find out better info by the time we sent out invites Smiley smile and all spouses were included! I’d chalk it up to men being men!

    Clearly your husband's friend hasnt spent any time on WW or else they would of seen the amount of forums about this 😆


    Jokes aside, I would assume youre invited. Wedding planning brains get so weird, it wouldnt surprise me if it was a brain fart. (On my guest list rough drafts, I keep forgetting spouce names, so instead of Jenna, Ill put Ofzachary just like in Handmaidens Tale. Obviously not gonna put that for real, but like I said, Wedding Planning Brain Farts.)

    That is bizarre and must be a mistake. I'd have your husband check in to clarify

    My fh friend is getting married next week. I have never meet the couple. The envelope just had his name on it. I didn't have my name on it. I didn't get mad, i just thought maybe since we haven't meet, they don't know my name. Well i looked inside and it did have my name (i'm pretty sure they saw it on his intagram lol). So I wouldn't be too upset. He can also ask his friend if he's unsure.

    You should definitely be invited also if you’re married.
