I'm curious to know the right way in handling my FH's half-sister texting him today. She asked if her daughter (who's 19) can bring her college bf to the wedding (someone neither of us have met). We sent out invitations in December and we are getting RSVPs now and we do need to hit a certain number for the minimum of what's required at the venue however our budget does not allow us to go way over either. I'm getting mixed advice from people telling me one - that because they are out of town family, and it is family that I should just say yes. Or two - if you don't have the money and since you don't even know the guy then tell her no. I'm torn to make any waves in the pool so I was thinking of responding by the following...
"We can definitely give that some thought after we get all of our RSVPs in. If we are short people then we can invite him however if we aren't short, then we unfortunately can't due to our tight budget. I hope you understand"
Thoughts?
