stupid facebook

My good friend from college just facebook messaged me today asking if she could bring her BF to the wedding because she recently got a bunch of other invites to weddings in which they were both invited. When we were in school together, I knew they were living together but after graduation I started noticing that his profile said single, while hers said in a relationship so I thought she had a new guy. I guess they are still living together after all, so etiquette wise, he should be invited....

Problem is, we REALLY can't add anymore ppl. We are packed out and like I said, I didn't know they were still together! Should I send him another invite anyways or just let it go?

    Depends on how good friends you are with her.  If she is a casual acquaintance where the friendship might disolve after the wedding, don't invite him.  If she really is your close friend and you want to be close friends after the wedding, I'd invite him.

    It sucks, but social units shouldn't be separated.

    Just put yourself in her shoes.  How would you like to be invited to a wedding without your FI/H/live-in?

    I wouldn't send him another invite, but I'd reply to her fb message that yes, he can come.

    How "packed out" are you that one person would break the bank? Are you receiving RSVPs back already?  While you're not supposed to "count" on people RSVPing no, I can't imagine that you won't have on person reply no and this person take their spot and it'll be okay.

    Okay, that last part was reallllly wordy, but I hope you get what I'm saying.

    Good luck.

    While it would be nice to let everyone bring a guest, since you didnt even know they were still together, I'm going to guess you're not SUPER close to her right now, so I would think you might have been able to get away with using the space reason to say no. I've been to weddings where I didn't bring my boyfriend, and it didn't really bother me since I knew other people there.

    That being said, since he's more than a casual boyfriend, since they're actually living together, I think you should tell her it's ok to bring him. they're more of a unit now. Like Alexia said, he should be able to take the place of someone who RSVP's "no".

    ya I agree with Alexia- maybe one of the "no's" can go to him?
