Friends dumped their plus one's

Jeanette, on July 7, 2017 at 2:42 PM Posted in Planning 0 10

My wedding is in 2 weeks and we have two friends that broke up with their gf/bf a couple weeks ago. They already told us obviously last month they were bringing them and the sad part is I was almost getting close to my FH friends gf. As a couple, we would hang out with them I would say 3 times a month. Now, since they broke up i would assume they both don't want to bring them but they havent said anything. Should I ask them if they still want that person to be there or just assume they aren't coming? Note- both of these couples were dating for 3 plus years...I've been talking to them about the wedding and their plus one's were raving about how excited they were. In a way it just sucks they both can't come because I developed a cool relationship with them! The worse part is one of the guys said to his ex now, let's talk in 6 months and see where we are in life. We may get back together.

    If you've already paid for everything, I wouldn't bother asking. I feel like it'll make your friends feel bad that they may have wasted your money and also has the potential to look like you care more about your wedding than their feelings (which I'm sure is not the case...I just think it's best to avoid the potential misunderstanding).

    Well I just texted one of them and they texted me back saying, "It's really your call, but yeah I figured she wouldn't be coming".

    It sounds like he hasn't told her that she's not! Should I tell him to tell her that she's not coming or text her? Ugh this is so awkward.

    Ahhh in that case, I'd leave it up to them and tell them to work it out on their own and let you know by Monday.

    Don't text her, it sounds like he is acknowledging the relationship the two of you developed, but didn't expect for her to be invited independently of him. Do you want her there even if it could be super awkward. If no, then cross her off the list.

    If you haven't submitted final numbers, just ask to clarify. We had a groomsmen's date drop out 2 days before the wedding.... yeah, I was pretty pissed

    If he's not bringing her, it's on him to tell her!

    We have GM that's giving us a fit. One day he has a date the next he doesn't. We've already submitted numbers and I'm trying to make the seating chart. FH asked him for final confirmation of his date's name and he asked if it was bad if he came alone. FH let him know that we had already paid for him to have a date and that I'm trying to make the seating chart. I don't understand why people can't figure out that a final RSVP number is so important!

    I dont understand why single people feel pressured to find a date for a wedding! I blame it on all those movies that are set around someone finding a date last min for a wedding so they dont go alone. If im not in a serious relationship i rsvp for just me even when i get a plus one.
