invited to wedding (40)
0ne0faKind: I was wondering why the invitation doesnt say "and guest" or "and friend" . Is this not the norm anymore? I think it would have been considerate to give a single person the choice to bring someone instead of having to go alone? But I suppose in these recession times, I can understand why they dont!
If the wedding is someone you know quite well and you want to bring someone.. ask whoever sent the invite if it would be ok. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
You might find that they thought it would be more considerate not to put "and guest" on the invitation so that you would know it is ok to go alone and not feel pressurised to find someone to bring.
0ne0faKind: No, it didnt! just my name on it!
Well if they are not putting and guest on invites you wont be the only person there alone.
ella1976: well thats the end of that then

Will you know many other people there?
FriendlyFeline: Will you know many other people there?
Not many,but a lot of people that I just know to see if you know what I mean

See it as a personal challenge. Go with the determination that you are going to have a great day and make loads of new friends.
Well maybe if you explain to the people getting married that you dont feel comfortable going on your own and you understand that they are probably tight on numbers so you'll pop along to the afters with a friend. Ive brought female friends to weddings as my plus 1.

I actually dumped a girl I was crazy about following the wedding reception of a cousin of hers. She introduced me to her ex who went to great lengths to tell me he was still crazy about her. The dance was video'd with bright lights comining on durnig the dance which ruined the intimacy and the newlyweds kept going through the pretence of leaving but kept coming back meaning I was stuck there for hours not knowing anyone whilst she gabbed to friends and family. To make matters worse I knew what underwear she was wearing and I was desperate to get her out of there!
NOT MY FINEST HOUR!
However girls, there is a solution to your problem:
MGF: My Gay Friend
Basically you need to befriend a gay guy. They know about fashion, how to make small talk, they can dance, they are very sociable and they are happy to be left to potter around on their own.If you fancy someone you can get their opinion. Also, they won't keep trying to get into your knickers.
So there you are girls. Adopt a gay guy as a friend!

I am a musician, so I am often suddenly promoted to close friend around the time my distant friends get married. These weddings often involve travel and an overnight stay at a hotel. Some are fantastic and offer room and the bring a friend option for me but others have the cheek to invite me for the free provision of their wedding music and don't even invite me with guest. I love to do the music for my friends.... but this crawling out of the woodwork at wedding time annoys me!
