Turns out, your boyfriend gets stuck at the kids’ table with a name that doesn’t exist on any chart. You both end up awkwardly eating, feeling like party crashers who never saw the fine print. That’s not really being included; that’s being tolerated. After dessert, you slip out, chasing some respect and a little dignity. The next day, the ugly texts start flying. You’re called impolite for leaving when the bride already cashed in on your loyalty, ignoring the fact that her last-minute upcharge made things weird to begin with.

If someone’s friendship hinges on surprise invoices and blaming you for their vibe, maybe you’re better off at the kids’ table anyway. Sometimes the best RSVP is packing up early and never looking back. Some parties just don’t deserve your full attendance.

‘I was shocked. I’d already spent hundreds helping her, and she never mentioned paying for my plus one’: Bridesmaid leaves her friend Emily’s wedding early after being forced to pay for her boyfriend’s dinner and getting stuck at the kids’ table
Weddings really push the limits of friendship, they have this magical power to check how much friends of the bride and groom can endure, but the path of least resistance seems to be seeing how much you can pay before you snap. You show up as the supportive bridesmaid, spend way too much on the dress, the gifts, and all the pre-wedding extras. The invitation includes a plus one, so you bring your boyfriend across the state only to find out, at the door, that his meal comes with a bill. It feels less like a celebration and more like you've wandered into a dinner theater where admission costs extra if you bring company. You cough up the money just to keep the peace, but the hospitality keeps getting thinner.
