wedding date/guest?

[spedrunner]

Have you ever brought a girlfriend with you as your "date" to a wedding where you are invited to "& guest"?

[lime]

Yes, once. It was a very large wedding and other people did the same.

IDK if I would do that now, though.

[ZoeHart]

Yes. I was 20 and honestly didn't think twice about it. I'm no sure if I would do it now.

[spitforspat]

No. Because I know how expensive weddings are.

[jaycee]

I've gone with a girlfriend twice to weddings to which I haven't been invited.

I know it's more expensive for the couple. I do, however, think you shouldn't invite someone if you can't afford for them to bring someone as their guest.

[Buttercup]

I've never done it but several people that came to my wedding brought friends/family members and I didn't think twice about it. I mean 'guest' =/= 'date,' you know?

[lovesherheels]

We had a friend bring a sorority sister to our wedding. Totally ok by me and my DH. I did the same before DH and I were dating. I asked the bride ahead of time, and my friend asked me too.

I was in my 20s; friend who brought a sorority sister was late 20s. (Not sure that matters, but just for context.)

And last summer DH and I went with my dudeBFF to an OOT wedding as a... threesome? Is there any other way to say this? LOL.

Thank you!! It's the Dark Hedges in Balleymoney, Northern Ireland. It was just amazing!

I. don't see how this could be a problem If the host for the wedding wanted you to go stag, they wouldn't have given you the +1.

I wouldn't. Weddings are expensive!

I'm not sure I understand this. A girlfriend doesn't cost any more than a male "date" (be it boyfriend, husband or male friend), and if they invited you with a plus one, what's the difference? If someone invites me and a guest, they are saying they can afford to entertain whichever guest I choose to bring with me, and that they WANT me to to bring a guest.

I brought my best girlfriend as my "date" to my sisters wedding. I cleared it with my sister beforehand. Not sure I would for any wedding

[pantsparty]

I have not, but my brother brought one of his friends as his "date" to our wedding. My mom was all upset about it, I thought it was NBD.

[housewife]

I would as long as she wasn't prettier than me. Inviting competition for single groomsmen? Nope.

[meggers5]

I went as my cousin's +1 to a wedding. She wouldn't have known anyone otherwise. We had an absolute blast.

[underwaterrhymes]

I have. I took my sister to my best friend's wedding.

I was invited with a +1. I was single. She knew her pretty well. We had fun.

[Deleted]

Yes.
