[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's how I would approach this: "Hey host, I would love to come but it turns out my family/friends are in town that weekend." If the host is ok with additional guests, they will say "Just bring them along!" But if not, this gives the host and out and the ability to say "We'll miss you" if they'd rather not invite strangers.

I think this is a matter of knowing the host.

If someone said this to me I would think they didn't want to come. But I would have absolutely no problem with people asking if they could bring someone along.

Yes OP you are correct in the most extreme possible version of this situation (inviting an entire disconnected family for no apparent reason) it is weird and a little over the line. But I wouldn't get that bent over it. "Sorry we're kind of hitting a space limit with RSVPs, not sure we can accomodate so many extras!"

I feel like the whole 'uninvited' label is weird. That makes it sound like you're asking to bring someone who had been disinvited.

PP with the mom, omg I would be SO sad if you just made other plans instead of asking. Think about the host and go based on that! There are plenty more the merrier folks!

I think its funny that people here who are cawing about etiquette being dead are the same people that would rather have people they like/love decline then to open up to an extra person who you don't know. Lack of generosity is also poor etiquette. [/quote]
