Is it rude not to invite partners to a wedding?

[BizzzzyBee]

DH volunteers once a week at a community project with a dozen other people. They’re friends, they group text all the time and occasionally meet up to have a meal, and if they have a party they invite the group plus partners. So I’m acquainted with them and their partners.

One of these people is getting married and has invited them all but no partners. DH and I can’t decide if we’re offended. On one hand I’m technically not part of that group - on the other hand they and their partners are my FB friends so I do communicate with them, it seems rude to exclude partners, when anyone else has had an event they’ve always invited partners, and they all came to my wedding.

AIBU to expect to be invited?

YABU, you only see them a few times a year. You sound like you’re looking for a reason to scapegoat this couple and why on Earth are you all discussing it behind their backs? What if it’s a small venue or they have very limited funds? You’re then being spiteful for nothing.

You’re then being spiteful for nothing.
Some people seek drama.
The OP bitching with other partners and discussing how offended they all are tells us all we need to know.

The sense of entitlement and righteous passive aggressiveness that comes through in the OP though....
