Little Sister question

I am a big sister in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. I live about an hour away from where the wedding will be, which is where my little sister lives too. She's almost 14, but would need an adult who is a family member to bring her. She lives with her aunt/uncle (who she doesn't get along with) with 7 other kids in the house. I know that she doesn't want to have the whole house there, and quite frankly, neither do I, but she does need to have an adult. How do I invite her? Would it be LS plus one? Or do I need to invite her/aunt. I'm just not sure what the proper way to do this would be.

    It would be little sister +Aunt.

    If you give her just a plus one, she could potentially bring whoever she wanted.

  • I would contact the BB/BS program and see what your options are.

    If there are no other family members besides the aunt/uncle one of them might have to bring her, even though she doesn't get along with them.

  • Yah, BBBS says it has to be someone with her family. I don't mind her aunt bringing her because she gets along with her *ok*, and I like her. But I also don't want it to be ultra rude just to send an invite to her and her aunt if it's not the right way to do it.

    <div>Doesn't that break the "Don't split social units" rule in inviting the aunt but then not the uncle?  I agree with inviting the aunt as the adult relative since the LS and aunt get along.  I'm just trying to mentally merge that with the SO's have to be invited.  Maybe this is one exception because the actual guest is the LS and not the aunt?</div>
