There are two types of hosts.
1. I Couldn't care less who you bring.....the more the merrier.
2. I have planned and arranged and have everything perfectly set for MY guests.

Unless you know for a fact that your host is the first type, best to ask, or better yet....simply decline the invitation, with an explanation that you have a commitment to other people, and let the host invite them...or not.

My husband is a real softy when it comes to hurting feelings. Heck....he goes to a barber who does a terrible job because he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. He is always whispering to me....should we invite X and Y to Z's party? NO NO NO...It's not your place to do so.
