Another bachelorette party question sorry!

I read the post from yesterday and it didn't quite cover the issue at hand... CLOSE but not exactly.  SOOOOO here I go:  FIs sister emailed me about an hour ago to ask if she could bring a friend (not invited to the wedding) to the bach party.  She did not email the MOH who is hosting.  I wanted to clarify that I am not hosting this.  Anyway, I am fortunate enough that my BMs and MOH decided to throw me a destination bach party.  It involves a plane. She is also about 10 years younger than most of us going.  (We are in our early-mid 30s and she just turned 25).  I am inclined to say "yes" she can bring the friend, so she feels a little more comfortable, but, I know etiquette says otherwise.  On the other hand, I also would really like her there!  So if her bringing a friend who is not invited to the wedding helps her go, is that ok?  Or should I say no?

(sigh)

I'm inclined to say send her to the MOH since she's hosting. But, if I were the MOH, I probably wouldn't have a problem with it. I can understand how traveling with a group of people you don't know can be difficult especially when you are younger and in a different phase of life than everyone else.

I'd talk to your MOH about it since she is hosting the party, but you are the bride, so she'll probably agree with you, but just out of respect, I'd talk to her.

I think it is fine.  I doubt your FSILs friend expects to be invited to the wedding.

Thanks ladies!!!!

I would have her talk to the MOH.  My mom actually invited people to my shower that aren't invited to the wedding but were just happy to be included somehow!
