Dear Queenie,
When I had a party recently one of the invited quests brought along her teenage niece without asking if it would be okay. I got annoyed and some of the other guests thought I was making too much of it, but it did cause a problem with place settings and how much food I had prepared.
Queenie, I think she should have apologized for not asking if it was okay to bring someone else without asking. Some of the other guests think I should have apologized for getting upset. Who is right?—Invitation Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
You are.
One should not bring an uninvited guest to any event. If you alone have been invited to any event, you should ask the host or hostess in advance if it is okay with them for you to bring another person with you.
