Ugh. I just can't catch a wedding-related break lately. I have already chosen not to do anything about this and let it go, because it's not a "hill worth dying on" in my opinion, but i'm going to snark on it anyway.
A friend, who is invited to the bachelorette (which I am obviously not hosting) calls me (not the host... why?) the other day to tell me that she has invited a friend (who I don't know and who is not invited to the wedding, clearly) because she "doesn't want to drive on the highway alone - I hope you don't mind! Don't be mad at me!". UM...
So,
1) Uh, don't take the highway? That's not the only way to get into the city (only 20ish minutes away, by the way. This isn't any sort of destination party.)
2) regardless, YOU CAN'T JUST INVITE PEOPLE.
I seriously do not get this at all. Decline if you are so uncomfortable. I would NEVER assume or even ask if was okay to invite someone else to an event like this.
