Would you go with your friend, acquaintance or relative in a party or celebration that you are not invited?

Attending birthday parties, wedding and other celebration are common to us. Depending on the occasion, if we are invited we’re always ready to accept or refuse the invitation. I refuse to attend when the schedule is contradicting with my other activities .
There are just instances that our friends, acquaintances or relatives want us to accompany them from their invitation even if you are not invited. In this case, I am reluctant to attend to such event. I feel shy to be there even if I know the person celebrating or having a party but did not invite me personally.
The more I never attend if I do not know the person celebrating, because I’m just a stranger there. This except maybe if it’s a public gathering and anybody is permitted to attend.

If the person is allowed to bring a guest, I may go if it's okay with everyone, but this depends on the person and event. I don't really care to attend events where I rarely know anyone because I'm shy.
Now, if I wasn't invited and it wasn't a "bring a guest" thing - no, I won't go.

@ZedSmart I guess some people feel those who are invited would feel comfortable bringing a guest. But if they'd prefer their invites to not bring a guest, I wouldn't tag along lol. Otherwise, for me it'd depend on who it is and how many people I may know at the party, but that's because I'm shy around people I don't know.

@ZedSmart If the person likes you to be there, she/he could have invited you personally.

Usually I avoid going. I never prefer being an uninvited guest

@ZedSmart very true. This is the reason why I never opt for this

I don't go until I am personally invited.

I believe too that it's proper if we are attending with the invitation. I remember one time that I was invited by my former workmate wedding. I already tell the person that I could not make to the ceremony because of the time constraint. The person told me that I should make at the reception. I was a bit late to arrive in the reception area and they're already starting their dinner. There was no usher in the entrance so I just walk in and I sensed that plenty of eyes were looking especially those who do not know me. So I laid my gift to the gift table and hold my invitation card, that's the only time the usher stood up and entertained me.

Likewise. I feel shy too. That is why I don't like attending a party/celebration that I am not personally invited to. I don't want to give them an impression that I am a gatecrasher or something.

i don't think i will go to a party if I am not invited by the one throwing the party themselves. if i am to go with a friend or a family member i think that would be just because i am a plus one and that meant it is quite necessary for my friend or partner or family member to be there.
