not bother being concerned about being at a place where I'm not wanted and go and have a fun night out with the girls instead?

nah. Just relax and have some ' you ' time . Im sure they didnt mean to make you feel left out. It would of been rude for him to bring univited guests.They probably couldn't afford another head . Thats all . Nothing personal . Just make sure you return the favor and only invite ONE of them to your wedding !!!

It all depends how old he is and what the situation is. Suppose it is a family wedding and he is a student who depends on his parents for support. He may just be going along and not want to stir things up in the family by making an issue of it. Perhaps he should be braver, but he probably knows how his family would react and may not want to get into it with them.
If he is self supporting, however, then it's a different matter. If it involves a family wedding, it could be that he is unwilling to stand up to them. Or, he might view your relationship to not be as serious a one as you may like it to be. If that's not it, then perhaps he's just being selfish, especially if he knows your feelings on the issue.
Once you examine the circumstances of his decision, that should lead you to some conclusions about whether this instance suggests any serious problems for the future.
Do go out with the girls. But don't go looking for guys just yet until you've sorted it out a little better with him directly.

You're just his girlfriend, I'm sure it was a matter of money, not a case of not wanting you there. It's common practice when money is tight to only invite fiances and spouses. You should only be annoyed if your man is a dog and you have to worry about him, in which case you're better off without him. I would just go out and have a good time.

It really depends on the circumstance of the situation. If the bride and groom know and respect you , but can't afford to invite guests that aren't married spouses, don't worry. If you have only been dating this guy a short time, then according to social rules you are not expected to be invited. You should only be bothered if you have been dating very long time (over a year or two) and the bride and her family knows that and they can afford to invite you.

Do you know the couple? I wouldn't be annoyed, particularly if he has known one of them for a while. I've been married to my husband for over 35 years, and a few years a go he was invited to wedding of a family friend and I wasn't. I though that it was blatantly rude, and I made sure that my name was first on the note I enclosed with their wedding gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are a lot of bits and pcs we don't know. how long have you been dating? the reason you weren't invited? like, could have brought a guest and HE did not chose to invite you? as far as the wedding, i do remember one wedding in my past that the couple could not afford too many "extras" and literally told people they couldn't bring guests....and they made the decision on certain couples--non married---etc. how well they knew them...etc. i understand to a certain point. and singles---i could understand if you ask to not bring a guest. but c'mon--very tacky. cut corners somewhere else. no one wants to go to a wedding alone. i hope you go out and have some fun tonight!

There are only 2 reasons tat a partner doesnt get invited to a wedding. 1. The couple getting married dont know tat you exist 2. they havent been particularly close recently and they are only offering +Partner invitations to people they are close to.
If it is any of the above just chill, its no ones fault so just have some time to urself, and if it isnt either of the above you should be bit concerned for 5 mins and then just ignore it, because stressing wont get any1 anywhere, your better off without them :)

Are you and he an established couple? If so, it was rude of the bride and groom not to invite you together (not that you can twist their arm or do anything about it, but they were in the wrong).
(When will brides start caring about being gracious and havin manners, again? It's not proper to invite "half a couple" to your wedding, there, brideys! Buy an etiquette book, for goodness sakes!)

Go have fun with the girls. The bride (who makes out the invitations) made a faux pas by not inviting a guest, but she may have had limited space or something. Don't worry about it. Just go out and have some fun. He is going to have fun, hanging with the guys who also came without their dates (for whatever reason).

If you both know the couple then I would be upset. If you have never met them maybe they just don't know about you. Either way don't be mad at your boyfriend he did't make the invitation, and for himto bring you anyway would be rude.
