Groomsmen RSVP Drama **UPDATE IN COMMENTS YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS*

As our RSVP's roll in, let me just share with you the little story I woke up to today, and hopefully ya'll can give me some advice on how to handle it.

As our RSVP's roll in, let me just share with you the little story I woke up to today, and hopefully ya'll can give me some advice on how to handle it.

One of the GM's had a girlfriend at the time we were sending invites (literally 3 weeks ago) and so we invited the two of them, by name, on the same invitation (Mr. John smith & Ms. Jane Doe). Today FH gets a text from this GM stating:

"Don't know if you could tell but I'm no longer dating (Jane Doe) and now I'm dating (completely new girl we've never met). (Jane Doe) is still down to come to the wedding as friends, but also doesn't mind giving her invitation to (new girl). Does that work?"

If this were any guest, I would be fine with saying "no" but he is a groomsmen. I'm not sure what will feel more weird- having his ex accompany him to the wedding and rehearsal dinner, or pretty much un-inviting his former gf so his new girl can come... FH has yet to respond to the text, what would you do??

ETA: update in the comments!

    The part that gets me here is he text you to say "I am not dating X, I am now dating Y, so I want to bring Y" and then followed that up with "Well, I am actually still dating X and just hooking up with Y, so I may want to bring X". Forget the wedding etiquette stuff here, that is the part I am smh about.

    Have them both come; One as a friend the other as the newest SO. All 3 need to simply act like adults for an evening and leave their personal relationships out of the mix.

    Sounds like my kind of party! Does it change anything depending on who he brings? I wouldn't think so, so I don't really get the issue. What's that saying people love to throw our here? Let adults be adults? Or some shit like that. It applies here.

    Yeeeeeeeah, he's gonna have to pick one. At least to bring to your wedding! (Otherwise, he can (and will) do what he will!)

    Absolutely! I don't think OP is upset about who to let him bring anymore (date is up to him) but the fact that she only could accommodate serious relationships as +1's and this guy is obviously not serious about either girl but thinks he should get a "date" even if it's his mom (lol) UNLIKE the other grooms men. I am floored by that! Give us updates OP!
