re: Wedding invite etiquette

fwiw I wouldn't ask I'd just bring a guest if it's a buffet style reception. My theory on this is 1. I'm important so I do as I like. 2. It is their wedding day so they aren't likely counting guest because they have other more important shite to worry about. 3 if it is a buffet its not like they are going to run out of food. 4. If they have legitimate problem with it ill toss them 50 bucks or so to make them shut up about the extra plate.
However if I knew it was a reception where you put in a order at the table id ask and if money was an issue id just pay for my guest.

Or you could not be a rude douche bag and not bring someone that isn't invited. If it's such an insult to you, just don't go to the wedding. Who taught you people manners?

still costs $ per head

what if they don't want to have to say "nice to meet you" at their wedding?

I would never attend a wedding in which I was not comfortable enough asking the groom or bride if I could bring a date

Then it would appear that the situation would work itself out perfectly with you
Seriously though. There's no harm in the OP asking the groom if bringing his new gf is OK. But the people on here saying to just do it and acting like it's no big deal

Why don't you call and ask genius?

Do you not grasp that it may be about space? That certain venues only allow for so many people legally due to fire codes?
It isn't about you, it's about the couple getting married and their wedding day. They just felt you were important enough to them to share that day with them. Maybe they could only invite so many guests and had to draw the line somewhere.

I would never bring a guest without asking the bride or groom first (assuming I didn't get a +1 on the invite).
Most of the weddings I have been to were not +1 unless the bride/groom knew the invitee had a s/o. If you are in the actual wedding party you should get a +1 no matter what imo.

What's scary is how many in this thread likely think that would be a good idea
Posted on 6/23/14 at 1:38 pm to lsunurse
yea it appears that a lot of people in this thread have either a)not had any part in planning a wedding and b)have no clue how wedding planning works at nice venues (ex. Ritz, Audubon Tea Room, etc.) and are probably more familiar with weddings at farms/peoples homes.

a party that begins at 8pm and serves copious amounts of alcohol

Yes, a wedding is a perfectly acceptable place for children. I think you have weddings confused with college house parties.

It's a wedding, not a bar
Posted on 6/23/14 at 1:51 pm to LNCHBOX
its trashy to not make sure guest have a plus one and as i said if its the open bar/buffet style reception its not that big of deal. I have never seen a wedding run out of food. However, if it wasn't a close friend or family id probably ask but if its family then i will just bring a guest anyways.

I haven't seen any weddings actually counting the guest as they walk in. It has always been more along the lines of paying for a certain amount of food.

The venue does that discreetly. Do you really think someone from the actual wedding party is responsible for that? You other post made you seem clueless, but jeez.

just make sure her dress matches whatever polo you wear so everyone will know that she is with you.
