I do plan to be vague unless they ask for specific. Like I would say in laws if they ask what kind of family, and then if they ask about my husband then mention that he is here.
Actually, I would either just say: 'Family' and then 'Husband' right away, or even just 'Visiting my husband' straight off... since your purpose of visit is primarily to see your husband, NOT your in-laws
If it looks like you are being deliberately vague, it can make them suspicious that you are trying to use deception.
People have been questioned further/refused entry for saying they are visiting 'a friend' when it turns out, after further questioning, it's actually a boyfriend/girlfriend. But if they had just said boy/girlfriend in the first place, they would not have been given such a hard time.
Just be honest, but don't offer more than they ask:
I.e.
If they ask:
What is your reason for visiting?
Then you say:
To see my husband
You don't say:
I'm coming to see my husband for a week. We're applying for a spousal visa and I'm here to collect all my documents, so that I can go back and apply next week, so we can settle in the UK and start building our lives together... etc. etc.
If they ask for more information after you tell them 'visiting my husband' you can elaborate, but just don't blurt everything out in one go... answer only what they ask you, and keep it short and sweet.
I am just very scared that if I get denied entry, then will that affect my Spouse visa. I know I have to definitely mention it in the Spouse visa application. but just want to know that if getting denied would have any impact or not.
It won't. The only impact it might have is that your visa could take a few days longer to be processed. That's it.
If you are honest and say 'husband', the worst that could happen is they don't let you in and your husband has to mail you the documents... and your visa might just take a little longer to process.
If you are not upfront and are vague about who you are visiting, and they suspect you of using deception to enter the UK, the worst that can happen is a 10-year ban from the UK (though I think this may be waived for spousal visas).
I really don't think you have anything to worry about. You're only coming to the UK for a week - just say you're visiting your husband, be honest about your situation if they ask, and you should be fine
