Plus, she is already bringing her four kids– meaning that the group of five already accounts for approximately 5% of their entire guest less.
“Our caterer also doesn’t charge less for kids, so we’re paying about $400 for those kids to be there,” he added.
So, he just really does not want to pay an extra $100 for his sister to bring a random date. Mia did admit that she wasn’t dating anyone right now, either. But, she ended up claiming that she could easily find someone to bring as a date or even just a friend to go with.
Still, he stuck to his guns and told his sister that she already had her four kids going with her. So, that was more than enough, and she did not need a plus one.
Ever since their conversation, his dad has taken his side, too, and claimed to be sick and tired of Mia taking up space in his parent’s house. His mom, though, has been a bit more sympathetic about Mia’s situation– claiming that he should just allow her to have a plus one since that’s standard for adult guests.
“Spending $600 on that just seems ridiculous to me, though,” he vented.
Regardless, Mia is still pretty upset with him. So now, he’s been left wondering whether telling his sister that her four kids are her “plus one” to his wedding was a jerky thing to do or not.
Does he have a right not to want to pay $600 for Mia, her kids, and her random date? Is it enough that her four kids are already invited when the guest list cap is tight? Do you think he should hold his ground or give his sister a plus one? What would you do?
