teens and dates (my FMIL strikes again!)

For the teens on your guest lists - are you inviting them with dates?

I guess my FMIL is having prom - envy or something, because she wants to invite the teenagers with dates. She keeps drilling my FH with comments like - no one will dance with out dates. I usually pull him aside and tell him its not a square dance - and therefore teenagers don't require dates.

Just curious what other LIW ladies are doing.

no way! the way teens date and dump each other w/ every other breath ... why pay/invite/have pics of someone who isn't going to be around in a week! just my opinion.....

unless they are seriously dating, i would not invite anyone with guest. i am not even inviting my 30 year-old friend with guest because he is not seriously dating any girl!!! let alone a teenager just so that they have someone to dance with!!!!!!!

no way. and even if i did - most of them would NOT have brought a 'date.'

we dont have alot of teens. my cousin who is 20 i told him he can bring one. i guess if you have a lot of kids if they bring a date it adds up. can you afford that ? i know i couldnt.

If they are older (17-20) and I know they have a girl friend, I am writing 'and guest'

I know that when I was 18, I was going out with FH and if I didn't get an invite that said 'and guest' I would have been upset.

we did the same, 17 and older, we werent worried about them not being able to give a gift, we had 3 teens with dates at the wedding, and all 3 of the teens parents actually gave a gift for their kid and date. Which was totally unexpected.

If they are 18 or older and in a relationship then yes.

I actually had DH's aunt call a few weeks before the wedding asking if her Daughter could bring her boyfriend ( I think she is 17 or 18) we said of course and DH's aunt MORE then covered all of their plates.

Re: teens and dates (my FMIL strikes again!)

The only teens invited are two of FH cousins (boy and girl)--and NO, they are not invited w/ dates.....matter of fact, all they do is just sit in the corner at every family function and look REAL, REAL excited to be there.
