I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into this situation or not.
If you have been dating seriously for only few months may be he is still in the process of accepting you publicly as his partner. or He may want more assurance that the relationship is more permenant before he takes you to parties with him. This is a personal preference. I have been seeing my guy for about 8-9 months and still we dont go out publicly, we do date but dont go as a couple to any parties..of course our main reason is that we work together and till we get engaged we dont want to be talk of the office..(this is mainly my decision which he supports). So there is nothing really to feel so bad about this.
Do you know his friends and collegues? Does he share their stories with you? There is no need to bring it up as a seriosu issue. Just say " Oh! I wish I could get dressed and go with you to the party..it would be fun to go out together as a couple." See how he responds.
It is too soon to get upset over that. You don't know all the circumstances - maybe he doesn't want to have to entertain you and socialize for work at the same time? Or maybe no one else brings their SO? I would let it go for now. It is great that he let you meet his kid!!
Keep us posted. Find something really fun to do while he is away!!
IMO, it's too soon to make a big deal out of this one. 2 months is not a very long time, and it's a business event, not a personal one. Plus, he might not invite you if he thought you wouldn't enjoy hanging out with his coworkers! It might be a negative sign towards THEM, not a negative sign about you and him. You don't know, do you? But really- 2 months of dating is not the time frame where this situation is a warning flag to me.

Thanks all.
I guess I'm just of the school of thought that if you meet my kids then you're automatically in the "club" so to speak.
