We just got a wedding invitation from my husband's cousin. It specifies only one person is invited (my husband). While I don't know the cousin well, I have met him a couple of times (including at my wedding), and do know his mother a bit. It seems odd to me that I was left out, more because my husband and I have been married for over 10 years than because of my relationship with the cousin. How would you feel about this?
This happened to me once. In my case, I honestly think it was an oversight. I think they meant to update the list with my name or Mr and Mrs or whatever, but didn't. IIRC, the groom made a comment saying so at one point. We RSVP'ed for 2 and both went. The others in this friend group all brought dates, and I had been married to my husband for probably 15 years.
Actually, this happened twice. The other time I had just gotten serious with my BF (now husband), and I don't think the bride knew. I went alone and left early.
Do you and/or your husband want to go?

Reason: typo
Wow. That's so unusual I'd have to wonder if it was a complete oversight on the part of whoever wrote the invitations! I think your husband should call his aunt (or the cousin directly) and try to sort it out. Maybe it was the bride or her family who took care of the invitations and they just had your husband's name...
I believe I'd have my husband call the bride's or groom's (whomever he is related to) mother and ask. Just say, "I was wondering if this is an oversight." And then if the invitation is only for him, I'd recommend he just send a gift and not go. That is odd. It's one thing for a boyfriend/girlfriend not to be invited, but a spouse? Weird.
Yep, husband calls the aunt, mistakes can happen. If it wasn't a mistake, well, as a husband i can tell you I would not be going. I don't like going to weddings anyway, sure as heck not going without my wife.

I'd give them the benefit of the doubt unless you find out otherwise. Have your husband contact his aunt to ask for clarification, and then based on her response go from there.
I have heard of only one person being invited if it is a gay couple.
Do you know the reason? Just curious.
