Oh, friend.

So that guy I've been friends with since we were 9 is getting married tomorrow. He called me this morning, looking for the phone number of a mutual friend he didn't invite. Turns out they've had 2 last-minute guest cancellations but they're already paying for those meals so he was trying to fill the slots with her and another previously uninvited mutual friend. Yikes. I love him, but OMG tacky.

Re: Oh, friend.

  • O gosh, yea I agree it's tacky. I wonder if the mutual friend will come? This should be interesting......

  • I actually couldn't answer the phone when he called and when I got back to him he'd already tried. Both said no, one saying she had no time to find a dress and the other that he has plans. I was cringing, but just told my friend we had 3 no-shows to the wedding. It happens, don't stress.

    So I think it's too late even for B list. Is this Z list?

    Omg, no kidding. At least this is coming from the groom and not the bride. He can claim he didn't know better.

  • Awkward...

    We had lots of "yes" RSVPs that didn't show. But we also had 2 uninvited people show up. At least they brought gifts. :)

  • Wow, that is tacky.  If i were the bride, I would have killed him.  No shows happen.  It sucks, but whatever. 
  • Very strange. 

    IMO it would be ok to tell a guest who wasn't bringing a guest to feel free to bring a friend since you are paying, but insist no gift is needed-just come for fun.  But strange to ask an actual friend to come that hasn't be invited!

    This is pretty much exactly what E said.  Like if someone had asked to bring a friend or just started dating someone, you call 'em up and say, "Hey, we can fit your "and guest" if you'd like."

  • I'm embarrassed for him.
