Does it annoy you when you receive an email or evite inviation in which the guest list is hidden? For some reason this really irritates me. It's not so bad when it's for something super casual like a happy hour, but I recently was invited to a sit down dinner where the guest list was Bcc'd. I'm annoyed because I want to know who else might be there and possibly make travel arrangements with other friends who are going, but now I can't ask anyone if they've been invited for fear of hurting someones feelings.

I've also gotten evites where the guest list was hidden and I don't like that either for the same reason. Before committing I like to know what kind of a party it's going to be which is determined by the guest list!

And I don't want to ask the host for the guest list or if so-and-so is invited, because then she'll think I'm scoping things out first before committing (which is true, but it's more civil not to rub it in the organizers face).
