Awkward Invite Situation

If you don't have room on your guest list don't push it. People have to understand they are bringing someone at your cost. I know that's a selfish way to look at it, but at the end of the day it your pockets that are gonna be thinner. We explained on our wedding site that we have a restricted number of guests and that additions will not be allowed and, while we love them, children are not on the list either.
It's a tough situation, because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings...but, if you were dating before the invite, my guest list isn't revolving around you. This is your day and everyone isn't going to be happy...but you and FH's happiness is the most important. If she is a true friend she will understand the situation and still come solo. Her new boo will still be there after the wedding.

I would do exactly this. Your invites were fine if you truly didn't know. But now that you do - you should absolutely be accommodating.

My sentiments EXACTLY!!!

If she reached out to you herself, I'd say let her bring him. But until she reached out herself I would leave it alone.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this. Everyone's guest list is overwhelming, it's a difficult task....but that's not a good reason to exclude a SO. She probably didnt ask you in person because it's super awkward. I've had that situation before. Itd be very awkward for her to go without her SO. I would definitely apologize to her and extend the invite.

Great she is not adult enough to ask you herself, then I would treat it as a rumor and keep moving forward with finalizing the plans for your wonderful day.

Congratulations!

If, not great.
