Ran a search for you on Google...from some random webpage: Can I bring a guest? If you're single, don't think your invite automatically means you-plus-one. In her book, "Dear Abby on Planning Your Wedding," the author, whose real name is Abigail Van Buren, says guests should contact the hosts if there's a question. ...So I'd say either go it alone or ask them- that doesn't seem to be considered rude, nor does it sound rude to me (unless you phrase it in such a way that it would be difficult for them to say no even if they really want to) Oh, just found another one (scroll to the last question on the page).. http://www.etiquettegrrls.com/archive_06-12-00.html

Just wanted to add.. maybe the polite thing to do would be to either offer to pay for the additional meal cost of your guest's food, or have either him or you forgo eating. If it was my wedding, I'd say the more the merrier...as long as I didn't have to foot a gigantic additional bill (heck, wedding are mucho dinero as it is) So get rid of their financial worry, and I see no reason for them to protest. Have fun! :)

1. If it doesn't say guest, then you can't bring a guest. 2. Paying for another guest's food is tacky. Maybe there's a reason they're not including him. 3. Just call and ask. But once you call, they will automatically feel obliged to invite him since telling you "no" is pretty damn rude in and of itself. So if you call, you can count on him getting to go. (Unless they have restrictions on the number of people who can be in that particular hall)
