Appropriate for wedding guest to bring platonic same-sex friend as a date
Although our invitations have not gone out yet, I have told my friend that she is invited to our wedding. She asked me if she could bring a guest, and I said that would be okay. She has since told me that she plans to bring her platonic female friend, rather than a "date", as I had intended. She has already discussed the wedding with this friend, so I can't really tell her now that I meant she could bring a "date" and the friend isn't invited (can I?). I understand that she will not know anyone else there, but at the same time we are trying to keep wedding costs down and don't want to pay for friends of friends whom we don't know.
Is it appropriate to bring a platonic same-sex friend instead of a "date"?

Well, she really shouldn't have asked if she can bring a guests, but, I only mention that for future reference since that's been done and addressed already.
I don't see the issue, though. If you invited her to bring a guest, it shouldn't matter to you who she brings. It's her choice. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
