We invited Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their single 18 year old daughter (I'll call her D), who got her own personal invitation addressed only to her. Mrs. Smith asked my mom if it would be okay for D to bring a date. My mom handled it well, and said that due to space constraints, we only have room for a certain amount of guests. So, no, she's not able to bring a date. Today I get a text from D asking me the same thing. With the benefit of the doubt, maybe Mrs. Smith didn't tell D that she had already talked to my mom. But still. I wish people wouldn't put others in these awkward positions.
D is truly single. If she had an SO I would have invited him. I think it's just a matter of her not wanting to be bored at the wedding and have a "date" to be there with her. She will know plenty of others at the reception, some of whom are also single. Then she asks if she can just call him after dinner is over and attend the "dancing" part of the reception, which I know is generally an ettiquette no-no.
WHAT am I supposed to do about this??
ETA: for clarity.
