I have a close friend who is always between guys. Since she is close I gave her a plus 1. The names and RSVPs were due almost 3 weeks ago since we need to get final meal choices and numbers to the venue next week.
My friend, we’ll call her Jenna, can’t give me a name or meal choice yet becuase she’s not sure who she is bringing but she is definitely bringing someone, she says. I guess I don’t need his name – we can always just put “Jenna and Guest” on the escort card but what do I put for their meal? Do I just pick the meal for the guest?
She’s been saying every day this week “OMG, I’m so sorry – I will let you know tomorrow!” but it hasn’t happened yet.

How about just tell her if she doesn’t tell you by X that you’ll just mark down for the guest whatever she is having or a more neutral dish.

@JessicaJupiter: +1
Give her a final date and let her know if she doesn’t tell you by then you’ll be putting “and Guest” and choosing the meal.

@missoptimism: Yea – haha her final date came and went since I’ve ordered the escort cards last night. I guess if she gets back to me before Tuesday then we can change his meal with the venue.

@skippydarling: I think that’s perfectly reasonable!
