Just found out someone can’t make it to my bachelor party a month out. Is it tacky to ask someone else to replace them with this notice?

100000% yes, please please please don’t do this. If you didn’t like someone enough to have them on your initial list don’t add them as a late add. Embarrassing for everyone involved.

I would agree with this, unless it’s somebody new that you recently met. They wouldn’t have been involved in the initial planning or invitations, but you’ve developed a good report with them.

Did ur friend already pay for housing?

Sorry, I think I maybe wasn’t clear. I just meant that it’s not fair to increase costs of guests that were already committed so in the scenario that the 1 friend hasn’t paid yet and refuses to pay even tho he previously committed. I’ve heard about this scenario before with a friends Bach and it was not pleasant.

If the person you’re inviting is chill and won’t get offered go for it

Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
