A family friend (a childhood neighbor of my mom's) attended my shower this afternoon and brought along another friend my mom has in common with this family friend. This other woman was not invited to the shower nor did the invited friend RSVP to my mom that she was bringing someone was coming. It wasn't a problem. There was plenty of room...however my mom is now questioning whether we need to invite this woman to the wedding. I say no because she wasn't invited to the shower...they were the ones who broke etiquette, not me. Your thoughts?
I wouldn't question inviting her if we weren't already a few bodies over capacity in the church. It's not a reception budget issue. The invites just went out on Saturday so it's not so long after the fact that I can't invite...but I just don't think it's necessary.
