Last weekend we had our wedding shower, and we invited an old friend and her family to it. It was nice seeing them but she asked me in front of everyone while we were opening gifts if she could bring her boyfriend (that I’ve never met), I was kind of shocked and uncomfortable because I knew everyone...

It was nice seeing them but she asked me in front of everyone while we were opening gifts if she could bring her boyfriend (that I’ve never met), I was kind of shocked and uncomfortable because I knew everyone was looking that I just gave her a thumbs up and said sure.... and now we’re a month away and we just do not have room. I have no idea what to do about the situation! Help please!! Lol 😂

    I agree with this! The guest was the one being rude putting you on the spot in front of everyone like that, knowing that you would look like a jerk if you said no.

    If someone for my wedding had an s.o. that I was aware of, I invited them; but if I didn't invite someone's s.o., it is probably because the relationship is so new I genuinely had no idea the relationship existed (I even checked social media relationship statuses for friends we haven't seen in a while), and I don't think any bride or groom should be considered "rude" for that. When I was newly dating FH I did not take offense if he wasn't invited to a wedding.

    The definition of a significant other is a person with whom someone has an established romantic or sexual relationship. It has nothing do do with whether or not your engaged or married. My aunt and uncle were together for 17 years and had 2 children before they got married. With your definiton, they wouldn't have been invited to any weddings. Do you just not invite people to your wedding who don't believe in marriage then?

    I’m in same boat except my guest didn’t ask she is just assuming. Actually 6 guests are. Same thing happened to me. I was put on spot and awkwardly said ok (insert Chrissy teigen gif here) If you’ve never met them or if it’s a new relationship then no worries. Even then it’s your day and no one has the right to just ask that question. I don’t get people 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m addressing my invites to who is invited and playing it by ear.
