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

She might not have a lot of $ to burn and therefore, only wants to invite/pay for the dinners of people she actually knows, not for their significant others.

But to not invite somebody's husband? I always thought spouses were mandatory.

I always thought that spouses are mandatory when following proper etiquette.

I agree with GP and 1920. Spouses and fiances/fiancees are to be included with guests you actually know, boyfriends are not necessarily included.

Honestly, in that situation I would call the bride and ask if there was a mistake on my RSVP card. And then, if my husband was not invited I would say flat out I wasn't coming.
When I was engaged, a friend of mine was getting married and when she sent me an invite it said my name "and guest." I thought that was kinda rude considering she had met my then-fiance and we had been out to dinner a few times together.

My old roommate addressed my invitation to her wedding not only to me, but to a guy I was good friends with and had a crush on. For real, she put his name on the invitation. And the place card at the rehearsal dinner, in spite of the fact that he was out of town and couldn't come to either... (we had rsvp'd in plenty of time for her to change it.) I brought another guy. He didn't like being called by the wrong name all night.

I actually think that might be correct, etiquette-wise. It's sort of awkward to put Miss Mary Smith & Mr. John Jones on an invite.

Now, that would be for the outer envelope, right?
