My wife's friend invited her to a party for women only, no men are welcome. It's not a bridal shower or an intimate gathering of close friends; it's just a party. Do you think it's rude to exclude husbands?

It depends upon the theme. the frequency and the nature of the gatherings. If the party is organized as a discussion group for female venting and sharing problems of a strictly female nature, it is NOT NECESSARILY, rude. It would be no more rude than for men to throw an all male party for male venting and sharing problems of a strictly male nature and to exclude wives. It would only be rude if any "exceptions" were made and/or it was done frequent and without explanation. Most SOCIAL group meetings are "freestyle" to be planned around the personal prerogatives of the planner - for example a men's club party. People who habitually plan gender exclusive parties and meetings and invite couples and married people are not using sound social judgment, however.

Thinks its okay if it's all ladies so the wife don't need to explain to the worried husband when she gets back. But if it just a normal party and the husband is excluded, it might be hard even to get the wife to come along.

No it's not rude nor is it rude if you wanted to hang out with the guys for the weekend and go fishing or just for a few hours watching a football game.
I wouldn't want my husband breathing down my neck every time I went somewhere and he wouldn't appreciate it if I did that to him.
Besides it's healthy for a couple to do things separately every once in a while with their friends.
But you also need to make sure that you do things together too on ocassion.
Why don't you use her hanging our with her friends as an opportunity to go out and spend some time with yours?
You can go play some basketball or go fishing or anything that interests you.
Have fun!

Not at all. A group of women have much in common. Adding husbands to the mix changes the whole tenor of the event, and alters the flow of interactions. Haven't you ever gone out with the guys? This is the gal's equivalent.

it rather is the hostess(es)/host(s) determination whether young little ones are welcome or no longer--opposite to the undereducated easy thought in the present day that youngsters are wecome everywhere each and each of the time. on no account ever anticipate your youngster(s) are welcome, anticipate they are no longer and then make your determination whether you will pass or no longer till you do have a sturdy babysitter attainable. it is not suitable in case your youngster is the terrific little youngster interior the international or if she's only going to sleep. The hosts have enable you recognize to no longer convey your youngster. Who understands, myabe they employed a male stripper or something. you are able to tell the hostesses which you will now no longer have the skill to attend by fact your babysitters would be on the social gathering so which you will could stay abode alongside with your toddler, it will lead them to experience somewhat responsible (and who understands, they could relent and inform you to convey the toddler). somewhat one bathe isn't significant sufficient to have your husband take off of artwork. you will get closer on your cousin via writing an exceptionally superb word or letter to encompass with the toddler present announcing how unlucky it replaced into you are able to no longer attend the bathe and how according to probability you (and your husband) could desire to social gathering for dinner sometime rather (or pass out to brunch or something). And, no, i do no longer think of it rather is phenomenal that youngsters are no longer needed. there's a time and place for kinfolk gatherings and there are circumstances and places for adults only. no longer all individuals are chuffed to reach at a social gathering or luncheon/dinner/brunch to detect somewhat one or 2/3/4 by fact even whilst the youngsters are quiet, they're nevertheless a great presence taking interest faraway from the guy who could desire to have each and each of the concentration, the mothers are consistently going off to alter the toddler, to feed the toddler, to be taught on the toddler, somebody brings somewhat one which is coming down with something and contaminates everybody.

Nope.
If its women only, its women only.
Go on a guys night out that night with all the other guys who are excluded from the women's only party.

No, I think it's a great excuse for a girls' night in, and perhaps for the guys to get together at a different house for poker and sports talk. These people have obviously not been married long enough if they object to leaving the men at home.

No, it's not rude. What if your friends just wanted to have a party with the boys? Is that rude?

I'm excluded from many women's parties. A woman's party is a woman's party, I'm not a woman. What's more, if I were invited, I sure wouldn't go.

maybe it's a "girls night out" type gathering.
these are increasing in popularity.
I don't it's rude if she is excluding ALL husbands and not just one or two.
let your wife attend w/o feeling bad over your hurt feelings
