I've been invited to the wedding of two of my close friends whom I haven't seen more than once or twice in the past couple years. It's a December wedding, if that makes a difference. My question is this: the invitation is addressed to myself and "guest." Is it implied that I should be bringing someone as a date or is it appropriate and/or common to bring a friend other than a romantic partner? For instance, would it be appropriate and/or common to take my sister?

Sure, why not? I'm sure you wouldn't want to go alone. It's better to go and bring someone than not to go. Not everyone is in a relationship where they have a male friend to bring.

I think "guest" is implied because your friends may not know who you could be bringing with you as your significant other. It avoids the embarassment of stating someone whom you could be dating now, but by the time the wedding comes, he could be ancient history. Guest is usually reserved for a person who is divorced or unmarried.
You could take your sister if you would like. After all, "guest" is an open spot at the table. :)

Guest is just that. Whomever you want to bring to the wedding. People may not know if you have a BF or what so they put Guest letting you know you may bring one.
Whoever you want to take is up to you.

You don't have to bring a guest but the bride and groom are leaving room if you choose to do so. Be sure to RSVP for yourself or for you and a guest. Bringing your sister would be entirely appropriate.

If the invitation includes a guest then you may bring anyone, sister included.

"Guest" implies whomever your little heart desires to bring. If there isn't a romantic interest at that time, bring a sister or a friend or your mom.

you are able to not enable some do it and a few no longer, purely simply by fact some have been formidable adequate to place in writing of their very own responses and others accompanied instructions. despite if, i do no longer believe inviting single adults without the alternative of bringing a date, you will could desire to call those human beings and enable them to be attentive to which you purely can not accommodate an added centred visitor. you will could desire to do a similar for the human beings who insist on bringing infants. i do no longer believe those that stated you are able to desire to have your mum and dad or maid of honor call those human beings. it is your wedding ceremony, you're paying, you are able to desire to do the deed, no longer push it off on others. be attentive to warning inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, i've got been to weddings the place the human beings have been instructed that the extra travelers and/or infants weren't invited and human beings nevertheless further the extra centred visitor with. At that factor, there replaced into no longer something the bride and groom could desire to do without inflicting a scene, and room had to be made.

its fine to take your sister. make sure you bring someone you can have fun with. the reason for adding "Guest" is for the fact that you might have a significant other or dont know many people and it would be nicer to be there with someone.

If your sister is the person that you want to take... TAKE HER!!!
You are free to ask anyone at all if the invitation says "GUEST".

usually it is ment for a romantic interest or for someone to dance with. if you would like to bring your sister, i would call the bride and ask. to bring a frienfd of the opposite sex to talk and dance with is okay.
