 Wedding Etiquette
My brother is getting married in a month, and I just cannot believe the lack of courtesy that some people have when invited to a wedding.
Within 2 days of sending out the invitations, they received 6 or 7 phone calls from single people asking if they could bring a date. The bride and groom are trying to keep costs down, and don't want to pay for extraneous people that they don't know. One relative got so bent out of shape he said he won't even go to the wedding if he can't bring someone. Then his MOTHER called my dad to throw a fit about the whole thing, and now she's threatening not to come because her son can't bring a guest. Really?
I always just thought it was common courtesy/knowledge that if the invitation does not indicate "& guest", then you were invited solo. I have never, and would never, call the bride and groom and ask them otherwise. Is my thinking outdated?
