[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a classic example of Askers vs. Guessers: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/05/askers-vs-guessers/340891/ I would be fine with being asked, and I would also not hesitate to say no if I didn't want to do it. I do think this is a high likelihood "no" scenario. But to me, why not ask if the couple wants to go out for drinks? It's an invitation, not a dunning notice. You just have to completely accept any version of no for an answer. [/quote] mmm no, it's not "askers v guessers." it's a really socially inappropriate question because the answer is almost certainly no - the only way it would be "yes" is if the couple felt pressured into it. it's not being an "asker" to push push boundaries. the only excuse I can see for this is if the sister was ACTUALLY just asking if there was going to be an afterparty.
