I'd probably let her bring her friend depending on what other family is there....17 is an awkward stage and it might help her enjoy the day a little more and make everything a little more amicable. I guess it depends on the relationship you have....knowing *my* little cousin (who's 17), i'd be ok with her bringing a friend. But that is based on my family dynamic and all that good stuff.
We have a teenager in our family who wants to bring her friend. My understanding is that as a guest, it's always rude to ask to bring someone to an invitation-only event. But, the girl asked us right after we got engaged, and I really feel that she probably just doesn't know any better.
I would say to let it go & invite the friend, unless you think it would escalate to other guests asking to bring people, etc.
UGH thank goodness! I just saw my cousin, I took her to take her measurements at the seamtress, and she didn't say a word about bringing her friend. Instead she was asking me who was going that she knew, so she could share a room with them...thank the lord! I guess she just said that to get attention or something. PHEW!
Teens definitely feel like they needed entourages for support. Maybe she's anxious about not knowing anyone and feeling awkward at the wedding.

So my 17 yo cousin is one of my bridesmaids. a little history....Her father is my uncle, and her mother is a real [word for not nice person]. She left my uncle when my cousin was about 3 for another man, and has had several men live with her since then. She has used the child to get money out of my uncle for her whole life, and has poisoned her mind to hate her father and only call him for money. So, after years of trying to win her over, he's just like 'i give up on her'....long story, my mom and me and my sister have always tried really hard to keep her being part of our family, she even lived with us for 2 years while going to school. But she was just brought up so rude and unruly. Her Mom takes her to bars with her and stuff like that. But anyway, I still asked her to be a bridesmaid, cuz she's my little cousin, and I wanted her to be one. I knew she wouldn't be of any help whatsoever, but I still want her to be standing up there with me on my wedding day. But now she told my mom that "she's bringing her friend" (a girl) who I've never seen before in my life!! I'm sort of mad because it's a semi-destination wedding (3 hours away) and we have been chopping the guest list to keep it as small a we can. And why would she bring a friend who will just be a loner cuz the bridesmaids will be at the head table and I'm sure the girl won't know anyone else. Should I just be like whatever, bridesmaids should be allowed an "and guest" or tell her she's being rude and don't bring her damn friend, that I don't even know and will never see again and probably won't even be HER friend for long, to my wedding? (cuz we are like that in family, we will tell you when u are being damn rude lol) My sister says to tell her hell no....
