Isn't it rude?
If you invite someone somewhere and then they ask if they can invite more people? I was always told that it's rude but maybe that's too old fashioned now? (I'm only 26)
The example is I invited another couple to join my BF and I to a show on Friday night, she wrote back and asked if she could invite her brother, sister and their spouses. Now, I have no problem with "the more the merrier" but this bothers me for some reason. I guess if the invite said "you and anyone else", it would be fine. Or maybe because it's sort of an open, environment and not a limited seating type of situation, that eliminates the rudeness??? Your 2 cents are appreciated!

man are you serious i had a similar problem but that is rude, really rude the couple you invited are using you to take out their family but dont blame to much on them it also depends where their from.but me i wouldnt really make a big deal unless i had to pay for them but if their paying and you have space for them i guess its alride but it is rude that you only invited them so you guys can go out as a happy two on two date couple its a cool experience but if there inviting other people without you saying its ok its rude but like i said there also probably thinking about their family to have fun also but still its rude. if you dont have fun and you felt uncomfortable make sure thats the last time you do that. hope this helps.good luck.

It is rude. They could've said that they already had plans w/a bunch of other folks, then asked if you'd like to join them. That way you could decide who you wanted to spend time with, even at the movies. But it's not too terribly rude, so don't be too hard on her.
Next time you invite them, and there should be a next time, tell them you had a small evening in mind, and that you'd like JUST the 4 of you to get together. You may just need to be specific with her (unfortunately).

At first I thought you were going to say if it's rude to ask your boyfriend if you can invite the couple.
But for the couple to invite others? I'd take it as rude, but being the nice person I am, I'd probably still let it slide =(.

I agree with you that when someone accepts an invitation that they should not include others, unless perhaps these people are staying at their home and they feel obligated to include them, in which case they should have mentioned it before hand.

Maybe your friend had some loose plans with them already and thought this might be more fun. however it did put you in a position where you could exactly say no without soundng rude,so basically i dont know

What they did was very rude and put you on the spot. They also expected you to say yes to a ridiculous amount of people. Your gut instincts are right on about this.

maybe this couple hates you and wants you to meet others to hang out with so you dont ask them anymore.
i have seen this done before.
