Left out?

Feel a little shocked/upset.

My boyfriend (of three years) has been invited to one of his best mates weddings. The invite has come through the door is addressed to him and him only and has no mention of a +1.

It looks as though the bride-to-be has written it, rather than his friend. But still?

Yanbu i think it’s very offensive and i wouldn’t invite her to my wedding after that. Not sure I’d invite him either now.

I don't think your been unreasonable either. If it were a small wedding then fair enough or if you'd never met the groom.
Giving a plus one is the norm especially when it's a long term relationship. I wouldn't go to a wedding where my dh wasn't invited. Of course it's the bride and grooms prerogative to invite whom they want but it's also the guests prerogative to say no I don't want to attend.

I think thecats has it. Whilst I think it’s nice for partners to be invited, when places are limited and a couple are faced with not inviting people who are close friends/family to accommodate friends’ partners they’ve never met, I can see why they’d cut the partners. If this was my dilemma I’d find a way to budget for all or I’d make the wedding tiny and invite none.

And I’d decline an invite if my partner wasn’t invited but not out of spite, just preference. I’d still send a card and lovely gift.

I've been invited to a wedding later this year but DH hasn't. It's not a small do but they are restricted on numbers as they have a lot of people they want to attend and we aren't especially close. DH has been invited to the evening part though.
I'd have liked him to be able to go with me to the whole event but I do understand why he isn't. It's just one of those things.
I'm trying to persuade DH to drop me off and pick me up so I can make the most of the drinking!

I must live in a different place.
I had only been with dp a few months when I was invited to his relatives evening do.
I had never met either the bride or groom.
It was lovely to be welcomed into the family.
