Do we have to invite every guest with a date or a "plus-one"?

Only 2the plus1 and 1 didnt even reply bak and the other came single.

If you can afford it, invite the "plus 1". But if you're on a budget I don't think it's necessary to invite the new boyfriend/girlfriend to your wedding. Who knows, they might have broken up by Christmas!!

I don't think you have to do it but we're doing it. If everyone attends it will be 120 but I'm assuming that not everyone will come and not everyone will bring a guest. I wouldn't invite them if I couldn't afford it.

We are giving everyone a plus one if they want it. Quite a few people on my list don't want to bring a plus one but I gave them that option if they wanted it. I just feel really bad telling people they have to fly solo at a wedding where they might not know a lot of people.

Not adding the "and guest" is a perfect way to say please don't bring any one except your self, weddings are expensive and it just means you will not have enough food for that extra person if they do bring someone I think you are going by it the right way

We are inviting plus ones for those who have been in a long term relationship for longer than a year or those who are coming from out of town who may not have a significant other so that they don't have to travel alone.

We don't have to worry about plus one. everyone is a couple.

I'm honestly a little particular about this mainly since my family is overseas, and not everyone can come. I don't want everyone bringing a plus one I've never met when half my family can't make it, it wouldn't feel right. People will be given plus ones based on how long they've been with their partner when I send out invitations. I'll have enough no's to the rvsps that if something changes and someone's been with their new partner a while, I'll invite them when it reaches that point. But there's no random dates happening.

I've been budgeting for all my currently single friends and family to have a plus one because our wedding is still so far away and a lot can happen in a year! But for those who aren't seeing anyone by the time we send out invitations, we will likely just invite them without a guest, as we don't really want random people we've never met being brought to the wedding!

We are giving our single friends a plus one if they want it. Since we are sending out the invites so far in advance, a lot can happen in 3 months so if rather be safe than sorry. Plus we have the space on our Guestlist for this as we are having a very small wedding.

I don't think you have to invite everyone and a plus one. I recently encountered a problem with this in my own wedding. I have a cousin that was single when we sent out the invitations so I only addressed her invitation to her, solo. I then found out a month ago through my mum that my cousin has been dating someone since March and that she is most likely bringing him to the wedding. My cousin RSVP'd that she is bringing someone but didn't actually ask if that was ok. I don't care that he is coming as we have had others that are not able to attend but I would have liked her to have the decency to ask if it was ok first.

We were particular about who we gave plus one's to. We think if your in a serious relationship then its okay, but bringing a random date whom we have never met seems odd to me

If they have been together for a good time period 6 months or more then ok to invite, why not? But some ppl just bring "dates" to the wedding then to me that's not ok

I think it's nice to give single people a plus one. Especially if they don't know many people at the wedding - they'll have a much better time if they have someone they know to spend the night with.

Good advice Zoe. We were flexible toAllie guests a plus whether in a relationship or not so that they don't feel left out.
