You can put them in a table... one row three columns. Worked for me!

You can use three columns, just simplify your HTML a bit. See this

Inline form
Add .form-inline to your form (which doesn't have to be a <form>) for left-aligned and inline-block controls. This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.

<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputName2">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName2" placeholder="Jane Doe">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail2">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail2" placeholder="[e-mail]">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Send invitation</button>
</form>

Use the .form-inline class to make the form go "side by side"
