It’s 4th of July weekend and you know what that means…..BBQ’s. And lots of them. Unlike most parties, BBQ’s are more laid back and go with the flow. But does that make any difference when it comes to the rules of bringing guests?
Rich overheard someone in the kitchen saying they had been invited to a BBQ but they weren’t sure if they could bring their girlfriend along. Rich and Stan think that a significant other is an OK assumed guest that you can bring along without asking but anyone else, you have to check.
Ryan completely disagrees. If he wants to bring one friend along he can. That’s the point of a party, the more the merrier. He’d never bring a whole group of people with him without asking but one friend is totally fine.
Would you be upset if someone brought along extra guests to your BBQ without asking? What do you think the rules are when it comes to bringing someone?

I have to agree that bringing a significant other would be fine, but if it’s a random friend you should let the people know so they have enough food, however in that case-perhaps you should not “ask” but just let them know you are bringing a girlfriend/boyfriend. I wouldn’t ever get mad, more the merrier- but I would probably want to know ahead of time because how embarrassing If we didn’t have enough food! For anyone hosting a BBQ, Evite is a really good system to use for invitations because it lets people rsvp whether or not they are bringing a guest.
hope this helps!
i have one friend that would bring his entourage with him every time. at one lake party he had people driving to the hosts house. needless to say he is no longer included on the party list. he was breaking us.
It’s always good to check so there is enough food because you may not be the only person bringing someone else along without letting the host know. In my invites I usually mention if you are bringing someone to let me know.
