don't worry about the small stuff go and have a great time with your man
For all you know someone else addressed the invitations. Give it the benefit of the doubt, and thicken up your skin. Get off the edge, buy a pretty outfit and enjoy yourself.
Do the same on the gift
Please update us on what you decide to do
the craziest part is they didn’t even need to track down your name if you’re married. just needed to say “the (last names)” or mr and mrs (husbands name). this is just rude haha
And that every wife has a husband, and every husband has a wife 🙄🙄 nothing bothers me more than someone using my spouses last name for my own, when I purposely hyphenated. I'm not Mrs. Spouse, the wife of Mrs.Spouse. I'm Mrs. Myowndamnperson-Spouse. If you want to address us , you can use The Myowndamnperson-Spouses, or a combination of both.

Ha! It could have to him, no guest!. Just write it off to frazzled bride who let her fiance help with uploaded the names and addresses. Bet you aren't the only one. Deep breath this too shall pass.
exactly. I bet almost 100% someone else was helping her and honestly, I would rather be called a guest then no obligation to show or get a gift. But seriously, its not even worth getting upset about life is too short
There’s no rational explanation for this, that’s shady lol
You sure they don’t think your husband has a side piece?
They could have simply said "To Mr. B and family".
On the other hand, planning a wedding is tedious and if you weren't the only one addressed in such manner, I'd blame it ok the craziness of planning. Not everything is done right.
Now, if everyone else and their spouses/families got a warm invite and you were the only "and guest" then they're shady and absolutely rude
Do they remember being at your wedding?

If you got an invite without a save the date, that's and indicator of how not together this wedding planning is going. Yup, rude and irritating, but give her some grace.
The same has happened here. Still not sure if I was the right guest. As I was referred to “and guest.” I went to yhe wedding anyway while the person sat at the bar all night.
The chaos of wedding planning meets a lack of attention to detail.
Could have been an A.I. error. Nothing intentional
Calm down. This is so minor. Let it go; show up in your best outfit and be ready to have a blast! Weddings are great fun. Introduce yourself as Mrs. ___ ____. And jibe them about it. And you know weddings are stressful so laugh it off. In the scheme of things this is nothing to be upset about! And don't harbor petty hard feelings - enjoy the wedding as Mr. and Mrs. ABC.
It is some outdated old school stuff to presume that just because a person has a significant other, even a spouse, the two of them are going to go together everywhere. It makes sense to me for a wedding you invite the person you want and a +1 so that they may bring whoever they want, which may happen to be their spouse or significant other, but doesn't necessarily have to be. Is this really what you want to be upset about? Go to the wedding eat the free food drink the free booze and be happy that your spouse is inviting you if they choose to do so
this is a crazy take to me but i also don’t understand just inviting free for all +1s unless it’s someone who truly won’t know anyone else there. different circles handle things differently but at least within mine 99% of the time you’re invited by name if you’re invited, not many people are just told they can bring someone. especially if it’s a couple who’s wedding they just attended
Tacky
It would hurt my feelings too and my mind would run to a few different places including judgement and shaming but it’s not worth the energy. As they say…don’t assign motives. Move on and live your best life.
