My husband was invited to a wedding, but I was not. I consider this to be in poor taste. Do you agree? My husband wants to attend anyway because it’s his good friend. I guess the groom had to narrow down his list, so spouses got knocked off.
What do you think?
Thank you.

I am the type to always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I would hope that it was an oversight, because, yes, it would be in very poor taste to invite only half a couple to a wedding ceremony.
If your husband is good friends of the groom, can he jokingly say something like, “Is this a men’s only event?” or something like that
to in an indirect way bring up the fact that the way the wedding invitation was addressed, that it did not include you.
If the omission was intentional, then yes, I believe it was in very poor taste to invite your husband and not you. He probably is not well informed in the ways of wedding etiquette and not aware of how his omission could cause such a negative impact. There are definitely different (more appropriate) ways of cutting a guest list.
