Giving Cousin a Last Minute Plus One

I am not doing an a or b list, i actually dont even know what that is lol.
I guess if your friend fersure is not coming and the meals are already paid for..id definitely give the cousins plus ones

I don’t see anything wrong with it.

I don't see anything wrong with this. I also don't see it as a b-list. I think it’s a nice guester to your invite your single cousins to bring someone even if it wasn’t originally in the budget

I wouldn't call that a B list. It's for those already invited and just extending extra invites for their comfort. I think it's kind and thoughtful.

And all my best to your friend and her baby.

I think that’s completely fine. Not like you’re inviting some b-listed friends last minute... THAT would be rude. But telling someone they can bring a guest last minute is fine I think. Not like the guest would be offended that they werent invited to begin with.

My mom has a few friends that I’m not close with who she intends to add on if we get any last minute cancellations... people who aren’t expecting to be invited at all but would be happy to attend as a last minute addition.

As it’s last minute and you are offering it to family, I don’t see it as a problem

That;s not really B listing since you already turned in final numbers. B listing happens before that final head count. Since you are already stuck paying for it, I would ask no biggie.
