wedding invitation quandary

Minkypair

I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I have been invited to my friend's wedding for the evening do only.
My friend and I were planning on travelling down together and sharing a room as both our partners are unable to make it.
But she has been invited to the whole day, scuppering our plans.
Would it be ok to ask if I can be my friends plus one? So we can both attend all day.
Also should I direct this question to the bride, raher than the groom, although he is the one I was friends with originally.
Thanks for you help

I'd suggest that your friend rings the bride (or groom - whoever she's closest to) for a general chat. She can then get onto the subject of the wedding (shouldn't be hard!). If she then explains that you're sharing the room, and asks if there's something you can do during the day, a shopping centre nearby etc... Hopefully they'd get the hint and go away and think about it and then upgrade you!!

Also - was your friend given a plus one but now her partner can't go? If so, I'd think it's more than fine for her to ask if you can take his place. But I'd get her to do it??? Hard to say - you're best placed to know how they'd react and whoo's best to sweet talk!

If you were both invited with partners then I think that would be fine as they will have planned for 2 day guests and 2 evening guests anyway. This way there will only be 2 day guests so Im sure it would be fine. I agree with trying to be good and would get your friend to ask the bride/groom rather than you doing it.
