Advice: The invitation to a destination wedding came without a plus-one. Is it ever okay to ask to bring a date?
Usually I’d just ask my friend for clarity, but I also don’t want to be That Demanding Guest. If my boyfriend were included, we’d probably go, otherwise I probably won’t. How do I broach this with my friend, without being That Person?Just don’t go. If this friend were close enough and your interest in being at her wedding were strong enough, then you’d go solo. And, if you felt comfortable enough with her and with your friendship to talk about it openly, then you already would have done it.
· I would want to be asked, but I’m generally the more-the-merrier type. Also, if it was on purpose , can he come to the destination but not go to the wedding? Do the beach/sightseeing/etc. on his own that day? · Nope, don’t ask. If I wanted your boyfriend at my wedding, I would have asked you for his name or left a blank space for his RSVP. Otherwise, assume he’s not invited.
· Ask if it was intentional and be prepared to accept the yes without pressure for it to be a different answer. I addressed a wedding invite to a friend that included her son on the inner envelope and didn’t realize I’d left his name off the outer envelope. I am really glad she checked in rather than just not come.· Wedding planning is HARD, and so many things fall through the cracks.
