I’m having a birthday party for my daughter in San Antonio. All my siblings were invited. My sister said she’s bringing my niece and her friend. She didn’t ask me if her friend could come along. Is it rude to invite someone without asking?
It depends on our personalities. Seems like your introverted. It isn't rude because she doesn't know clearly. Let her know next time that she needs to ask first.
Yeah it's rude. If it bothers you, tell her. Since you're the one throwing the party, you're the one that decides who's invited and who's not.
I actually don’t think it’s overly rude. How old is your niece? If she’s way older or way younger, maybe she just wanted someone her age to hang with at the party. But asking would’ve definitely been the better thing to do.
Yes, it's rude to bring friends without asking the host.
It's also rude for you to make a scene about it.
I don't know how to pleasantly tell your friend that you will be excluding her from future events if she continues to bring uninvited people. But, I know there is a way to do that. I'd study some books on etiquette and see if you can find a polite way of educating your sister.
I wish you well with this,
I think it's kinda rude for your sister to invite her daughter's friend to your daughter's birthday party in San Antonio without first asking you, but I think it would be petty for you to turn your niece's friend away. I think it should be fine as long as your niece's friend is a nice kid, and preferably if the friend is gracious enough to bring a present for your daughter to the party.
Additionally I think you should make clear to your sister that you would prefer for her to consult with you before inviting additional guests to any future events to which you should invite your sister, and niece.
So, are ya'll gonna be having the birthday party on the Riverwalk there in San Antonio? Will ya'll be visiting the Alamo? Sounds like a good time to me! I grew up in the Houston area, and used to love going to San Antonio for a daytrip! There's also a very nice zoo in Antonio if my memory serves me well.
