moh help

10 days until the big day and so far my fiance and I have done everything ourselves with no help from our wedding party. And that's fine. But today I got a text from my MOH who is my FH sister. She asked if it was too late to bring someone to the wedding. He and I are both annoyed because we have given her every single opportunity to invite a guest and we sent our final count to our venue YESTERDAY. She wants to bring someone whom we dont know and she isnt dating. Just a fling. Are we wrong for telling her it's too late? We feel the time for this discussion has passed. She was offered a plus one. She said no. Even up until 2 weeks ago she was told she could invite a girlfriend if she wanted. Are we wrong? Are we being too harsh? Or is 10 days before the wedding a big ask for a guy who wont be around by the end of summer? I think if she had any involvement in actually helping we would be more willing to be inconvenienced by this, but that isnt the case.

    You aren’t being too harsh at all! Tell her the deadline has passed and you can’t make any changes as you’ve already given your numbers to the venue.

    No, you're not being too harsh. The final headcount has already been submitting, you cannot make any changes.

    Not too harsh at all, especially since she isn't dating the person.

    Nope. Not harsh at all. You said yourself you gave her every opportunity to take advantage of her plus one and invite someone. Now it's too late. Sorry (not sorry!). Smiley smile

    Not too harsh. You gave her plenty of opportunities to have a plus 1; she declined.

    Tell her that you’re sorry but you gave her several opportunities to bring someone and she declined. You gave the venue the final headcount and you can’t do anything to change that so it’s out of your hands.

    Don't feel bad, this is 100% her problem and not yours.

    Thanks for your help, all! I don't want to be a jerk, but I also don't want the added stress of having to accommodate people because of a sudden change of mind. Because who's to say that it wouldn't change again? This is a great place to bounce thoughts and issues around without feeling judged and knowing you will get honest feedback.

    I would just tell her it's too late, she had a long time to decide. Plus she will be busy the day of and that will be weird for her plus one.

    Your deadline for finalizing guest count has passed, so tell her exactly that! She dragged her feet and should have been more proactive if she wanted to bring someone
