However, another girl in our study group is MARRIED and her husband did not get invited. WTF?

This is such a tricky situation. A friend of mine is getting married soon and informed us that none of the girls in our group of friends are going to be invited with an "and guest", which is fine since they don't really know anyone's boyfriend. The weird thing is that they seemed to pick and choose who was invited with a guest because one of our friends made a point to say we'd all get to meet her new boyfriend at the wedding. Clearly since they've been dating for 5 minutes, the engaged couple doesn't know the new boyfriend. I think the rule of thumb should be to be consistent with whatever you choose and to follow basic etiquette rules with inviting spouses and fiance/fiancees.
