Is this a rude thing to ask?

My best friends ex boyfriend is having his 18th in a few weeks time. He's got space for 150 people in the hall he's booked and has invited about 120. Is it rude for me to ask him if my boyfriend can come as well? (they havent met before, but my boyfriend has met some of his other mates and gets on well with them) This may sound really stupid but my best friend isnt over her ex and so I dont want to do anything to annoy the ex that could end up making things bad with my best mate. Oh yea, I let him and my best mate have some alone time at my house a little while ago, so its not as if he doesnt know me at all, though I am slightly annoyed with the way he treated my mate so obviously Im not the best of friends with him...So, back to the question, is it ok do you think of me to ask him if my boyfriend can come as well?

I think it should be fine, just make sure you ask and dont let your bf just turn up unexpected.

if u want to go, and you ask nicely, then i dont see why not.
Just respect the fact he says no or dont go all togther, any fuss you do make if you did after would be considered annoying.
definetly better than just taking your boyfriend, that would be considered rude.
Should be no problem. Just ask and see what happens and go along with the decision :smile:

Lots of people asked to bring boy/girlfriends when I had my 18th. It wasn't a problem at all, he should be fine with it if he's got the extra capacity. As long as you ask nicely he can only say no, he's not going to be mortally offended.
I don't think so, most invitations are plus one anyway. I can't imagine going to a party stag!

Yeah I agree here .. there shouldn't be a problem unless the guy really doesn't like your boyfriend which doesn't seem the case!! it'll be fine! x
Not rude at all - in fact, the very opposite!
Now why is that rude? No.
why did you put that as anon? just turn up with your bf no big deal...

i agree with what everyone said. its not rude at all. what's rude is when you turn up in his party with your boyfriend along. just don't feel bad in case he says no...:smile:
