I need some advice. We have known for over a year that a young couple we know is getting married in August. My partner just received an email invitation to an engagement party in June. The invitation says that the party is being hosted by another couple we don't know in their garden. The invitation was sent by the groom to my guy. No where does it indicate that the invitation includes me. My partner is better friends with the groom than I am with the bride, however, we have hosted both of them in our house on numerous occassions. Do I consider myself invited to this event or should we take it the way it was sent - to my partner alone?

Wow that is a tough one. I think that you should check with the bride and groom. There is a chance that this is the bucks's night and only men are invited so you certainly would not like to turn up to that. On the other hand it could have just been an accidental oversight that your name was not included on the invitation.

An e-mail invite seems tacky to me. It could just be a typo. Have your partner call him up and play dumb to the whole e-mail invite thing and couldn't tell if it means that you're invited or not. If it's a typo, great. If not, you'll be posting another discussion I bet.
