Ask to bring a friend?

My husband's co-worker has a bridal shower coming up, and I am invited.  I am slightly acquainted with her, but will know no one else at the party.  I also have a girlfriend visiting me from out of town that weekend.  Would it be okay to ask the hostess if I could bring my friend?  I would offer to contribute an extra dish or something, too.

    It's not a good idea.  Inviting extra guests to any event is not appropriate.  Consider it from the bride's point of view...not only are you there (someone she only slightly knows) but also, you've added a total stranger she doesn't know at all.  Even if the extra guest knew the bride, this would be a bad idea.  I'd just decline instead of asking the hostess if I could bring an additional guest.

    I agree with PP, I would decline before adding an extra guest as well. 

    Honestly, I would probably decline just based on the fact that I hardly knew her.

    Hate to turn down an invitation, but I guess that's the best option in this case.  Thanks, ladies.
