Guest wants to ask if she can bring her brother along to the wedding
Our friends, who are originally from New England, just got married in Las Vegas with only family. They have planned a traditional New England Lobster / Clam Bake in RI for their wedding reception to celebrate. We have to RSVP in 4 days. The invitation had my fiancee's name plus guest.
My brother will be visiting from Texas that weekend. We just started remodeling a bathroom and are completely overwhelmed with trying to finish. My brother agreed to fly up to help. The only weekend he was free to help was the weekend of the Clam Bake Wedding Reception.
Would it be insane for me to call and ask the couple if we could bring my brother? BTW while I am friends with the couple, my fiancee knows them better and longer.
Your opinion and advice would be greatly appreciated.

It wouldn't be insane but it would be impolite.
If you are going to be busy trying to finish your renovation then it wouldn't make sense anyway to attend the reception, with brother or not. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. Asking to bring additional guests puts the host in a difficult position. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
