My friends wedding is on New Years Eve and I have been told that there are no plus ones. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we live together, were also buying a house together. I would not mind going alone except the wedding is on NYE and I really do not want to celebrate it without my boyfriend. Would it be rude to ask if he can attend? Also my parents told me I can decline the invitation. I am nervous that she will not take the decline well.

It's rude that your friend was so thoughtless as to not think that you'd want to bring your longstanding boyfriend. I'd phone her and ask, and if she says no then she is showing her true colours and obviously regards you as a casual aquaintance not a friend. I know for a fact that if I was invited to a wedding and my partner was not she would be deeply offended as would I.
I fully agree with Milander. SHE was rude when she did not extend the invitation to your partner. If I were you, I would seriously doubt this friendship. I would simply say 'no, thanks' and cease thinking of what her feelings are. However, let's not exclude the possibility of an error. Weddings can be stressfull and complete control is hard to achieve. If you really believe that she is your friend, just talk to her to see if that was not a mistake. If she tries to find excuses but aknowledge the invitation, then forget about her.
