I received a baby shower invitation today, and I plan on going, but there is no "please RSVP" on the invite. Tt saiys "regrets only" and then has a phone number. I assume that this means to only "rsvp" if you CAN'T go. Am I correct?

Also, do you think it would be strange if I brought 2 friends with me? The pregnant woman is actually a former teacher of mine (and the two people I'd like to bring), and when I attended her wedding a few years ago I felt sort of awkward because I didn't really know anyone there (I was the only student there because I was really close to her - she was like a big sister to me). She had told me afterwords that I could have brought a friend or two with me to the wedding.
I wouldn't doubt that I'd be the only student there (I've actually graduated high school already...)
I would just ask her, but there are a few reasons I can't.
I would just invite one of the two girls I want to (the other can be a tad obnoxious when excited - she's very, very perky) but it's one of those situations where you can't invite one without the other. Again, too much detail to get into it.

Basically, what is the ettiquette for bringing 1-2 friend with you to a shower where you would otherwise not know anybody, and what is the RSVP ettiquette when it says "regrets only"... does that mean only if you don't plan on attending?

Thank you tons and sorry for the crazy length!

Yes, regrets only is if you are not attending. I think that if the two girls you are inviting with you both know the pregnant woman, then that would be perfectly fine. I'm sure she would be fine with it because she told you that you could have brought a few friends to her wedding. I think it would be very polite to call and ask her permission to bring friends, but it's okay if you can't.

(Rating: 4) Thank you for answering. I was pretty sure of both, but I think I was just looking for some reassurance and making sure bringing a guest wasn't rude.
Thanks for answering.
