500 seems fine, but nowhere near the minimum of acceptable. My immediate reaction was 250.

Came here to say Charleston.

Also, any plus one is fine, even if you take a shine to one of the flight attendants on the way over.

I'm not sure that there is etiquette on how long you have to date to bring a gf, but 8 months is plenty.

Chuck Bass, are you also paying for tux rental, etc?

500 seems on the high side considering your travel.

I think it's a bit more of a casual wedding in that sense so I was just planning on bringing my (fancyish) suit but I should probably enquire about this, heh

Definitely inquire about dress — typically best man and groomsmen need to coordinate.

You should definitely be concerned about what you're wearing. I've never been in a wedding where there hasn't been explicit coordination about the wedding party's attire.

Chuck, did you ever publish part 3 of your book?

Usually a +1 in an American wedding who is not part of the wedding party won't be in most of the photos. In fact, that can be a downside, as your SO can get bored/feel abandoned while the photographer is taking endless wedding party shots. On the plus side, it makes it much easier to have a +1 and it not be a big deal.

Some good eats in Charleston:
--> Hank's
--> Hyman's
--> Bacco
--> Kickin' Chicken

But you really can't go wrong there or in New Orleans. Those are my two favorite food cities in the US.

Putting in a plug for Lewis Barbecue in Charleston.

I haven't been but when John Lewis was in Austin, it was fantastic.

Charleston is great.

I recommend staying at the Harborview Inn, having a beer at The Griffon, dinner at Magnolias, after dinner drinks/music at The Blind Tiger. The Pour House has decent bands sometimes.

Grill 225 has a great steak also.

Husk is a good spot. The coconut cake at Peninsula Grill is the best dessert I have ever had.

while in Charlotte you’ll get a lot of opinions on BBQ, but Midwood Smokehouse is probably your best bet. It’s bevome the obligatory visiting celebrity bbq stop - Obama, Bill Murray, etc. have all been seen there over the last few years. Get the baked beans and the banana pudding for dessert.

In my experience, if the gf isnt in the women's wedding party she wont be in many pictures. You as the best man will typically be paired up with the maid of honor on her side for whatever pictures. There will be a few less important pictures with your gf in them at the dinner and party stuff but I wouldn't be concerned about that at all. Bring her if you want to, I'm sure it's of no concern to the couple getting married.

On the +1, it really depends on how tightly the wedding is organized. I’ve definitely been at weddings where there were strict guest limitations, usually driven by site or cost issues. Others are free-for-alls. It’s a fair question to ask the groom, but consider asking in a way that makes it easy to say no if he is subject to other constraints.

I would think if the invitation said +1, that guest was already taken into the calculations.

Chuck,

Does the invitation itself specify a +1?

if you are the best man i'm pretty sure you are in the tier of people who gets a +1

500 seems like a lot especially if you are flying overseas unless its a wealthy crowd

while in charlotte go to prices chicken
