I am invited to a Hen party, but I am not invited to the wedding, should I go?

No.... and don't send a gift. That is rude and against wedding etiquette. It is expected that anyone invited to the shower is also invited to the wedding. By what you have just described, you are being used for a gift and for head count.

Personal choice really, if they are having a small intimate ceremony the hen party may be a way still include you in the festivities. Look at all the details surronding the wedding before you make your final decision.
If the wedding is big and elaborate and you feel jipped then maybe you should decline the hen party invitation.

Yes, if you want to. This happened to me recently, my nephew was getting married and his bride was only having a very small wedding in a park beside a pond so there was a limited number she could invite. I was invited to the shower but not the wedding. If you go, I am sure you will have fun! And a party is loads better than a wedding any day! Go and Have Fun!

Depends. Are you a co-worker or have you just met the bride (say in the last 6 months, so your a new friend)?
If you answer yes to either, then go. Obviously, you were unable to be invited to the wedding b/c you are a newer friend or co-worker.
If you've known this person for a long time, then don't go. It's not right be be invited to the pre-parties, but not to the wedding.

Sure. Many people like to have private ceremonies with only close family and friends, but still invite people they're not quite as close to to a bachelorette party. Now, if you were invited to a shower where gifts were expected, and not invited to the ceremony or reception, I would be insulted and wouldn't attend.
*A bridal shower and a hen party/bachelorette party are two different things.

I wouldnt go unless I had been invited to the wedding.
I would feel that if I am not good enough to be invited to the wedding, I am not going to contribute to a hens night.

Yes.
I had a friend/acquaintance- she didn't invite me to her wedding, and she called me to say sorry- her parents weren't helping to pay, and so for budgeting concerns she really invited few people...
So if you want, go. But I wouldn't go all out for a gift.

How could that be? That stinks. I'd feel snubbed...why aren't you invited? Is it a family thing? Well depending on the conditions...I'd make my decision.
