Is it appropriate for a bridesmaid to bring date to the wedding?
Question: I would like to know the proper etiquette a bride should follow if my bridesmaid wants to bring date to the wedding. Should she be allowed to do so?
Answers: If she is in a SERIOUS relationship, yes, her significant other should be invited, but a date , no. Weddings are great places to meet new people and singles should be glad for such a target rich environment!
You are not at all obliged to let guests bring guests of their own, not even the members of the wedding party.
Yes, she should.
A bridesmaid is expected to bring a date.
Same as your guests, you allow them an option of +1. Why wouldn't you extend that courtesy to someone who is helping you on your special day?
Let her. Many wedding invites to singles are to So-and-so and Guest, anyway. It's no fun for her to be at the reception with no escort.
I think that she should be allowed a date and if you told her no she would feel like she was left out. Especially when she sees how happy you are with your new husband.
The bridesmaids will have responsibilities during the wedding, and won't sit with their dates at the head table if there's a dinner. They need to know that.
If it won't be a burden to have another person, it would be nice to let your bridesmaids bring a date. Really, it is up to you. You are only required to invite spouses, fiances, or if the couple is living together.
It depends on the wording of the invitation. When you sent her the invitation, did you include the words and guest on the inside envelope? If not, then no she shouldn't even ask to bring a date. It's considered rude to ask to bring another person.
But, since she's obviously not up on her etiquette, now that she's asked, I guess I'd responds with a Yes. And then also inform any other bridesmaids that they can invite a date, too.
I think if your bridesmaid really wants to bring this date, then she should be able to. From my experience, most woman dont just ask any guy to go to a wedding, its usually someone they've been seeing for awhile. It wouldnt be fair to her if you told her she couldnt bring a date. But you do need to let her know that there are some responsibilities she has, and if her having a date there will distract her, then maybe its not a good idea. Dont but it rudely, but part of the task of being a bridesmaid is to help the bride out on the wedding day so the bride isnt the one stressing out over things. Also, her date would need to know that most likely he wont get to sit next to her (not sure if your doing your having your attendents sit at a table with you and the groom or not, but thats what we're doing and my sisters wont be able to have their husbands up there). I went to a wedding with my fiance when we first got together, and he was in the wedding. We barely saw one another the entire time, and I was stuck with his family I didnt even know. It was extremely awkward. You just need to pre-warn her about these things. Being put in the situation like I did, some guys might run off.
Generally speaking, she is expected to. If you really don't like the guy or he is an ex-boyfriend of something of yours, just tell her and be up frount about it. It's your wedding.
yes if she wants too as long as he is not the wedding crasher type.
It's your choice, but I would lean toward letting her bring a date. But if you need to limit the number of people you invite, don't let singles bring dates.
There is nothing wrong with her bringing a date to the wedding.but, she should have to ask you first, because it is your wedding.
