Guest list question

Jessica, on June 19, 2019 at 11:31 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

What would you do?

We have a friend who we are inviting to our wedding and we also attend a lot of events with her. She is single. When we attend all of the events with her she always brings her sister at her plus one. Should we assume she will be bringing her sister to our wedding and put both their names on the invitation (they live together) or should we just write her name and guest?

    I would just list her name and guest. Don't specify the sister unless you also want to invite her specifically.

    Don't list her sister.
    I've had guests at my wedding I gave a plus one to and they would rsvp with the plus one name but come time closer to the wedding they decide to bring someone else. Not that it mattered for me but that's what I'm trying to get at - their guest can change.

    I would ask her and use that information for the guest list. I don't like to assume anything.

    Are you ok with her bringing a guest who is not her sister, or do you just specifically want to invite her sister? If you don't care who she brings as her guest, then just write "and guest." If you want to specifically invite her sister, then write both their names.

    From what you described though it sounds like you just want to allow her a plus one and are assuming she'd choose her sister as that plus one? If that's the case, just write "and guest" and then that allows her the freedom to bring a different friend if her sister isn't available.

    We love her sister and would not care either way, but I didn't want to assume she was bringing her nor did I want to not assume (if that makes sense) since she always brings her to events. Just don't want to offend anyone lol. I guess just putting and guest is the way to go and she can decide.

    I would just put her name and guest. This way she can choose who she wants to bring.

    I would put "guest" and just let her decide who to bring.
