Hi everyone,
One of FH's cousins (gosh, we love her) is on our wedding list, and we intend on inviting her, her child and child's father, of course. I didn't know his name, so I messaged her and asked her for his name so I know how to address the invitations when it's time. She told me flat out that her child's father and her are not on good terms, and a bunch of really nasty circumstances. I felt kinda bad. Anywho, she said she doesn't know if he'll be coming. I told her out of courtesy, I'd still like his name to put on the invites. She said just put "and guest." ... Initially I said sure. But when I got to thinking about it, what if she thinks that she can just bring a plus one? We're not allowing plus ones. What do you all think? Do you think in the heat of the moment, she'd prefer not even refer to her child's father by his first name, or do you think she may have intentions of bringing another guest in his place? I feel kinda weird being like "Hey girl, just want to let you know that if your child's father isn't in attendance, it's just going to have to be you and your daughter." What do you think? Maybe wait until I see RSVPS and take action from there?
