Automatic plus ones....

Well, thats generally the polite way to do it.... Sounds good.

Most of the guests I'm inviting have their significant other invited as well. The only people I'm not really giving the plus one to is work friends.

If you have the budget and numbers to be able to do that, I think that's really nice and considerate. I am doing mostly plus ones for anyone over a certain age, knowing some of them won't want to bring a plus one.

ETA: I put the meme just because it made me think of that, not being bratty or anything! lol

That's a really nice way to do it if your budget can allow it. We only didn't give plus's to a handful who weren't in established relationships but they were friends with everyone so they didn't mind.

We gave a plus one to everyone, which is unfortunately holding up at least two of our RSVPs. Two of my friends were talking about it at my bachelorette party. They both said it was so nice of me to give them a guest but they don't think they have one.

But rather than just return the card saying 1 of 2 will attend, they are both still waiting to send it back.

I wouldn't , but I live in the land of 200.00+ weddings, and personally, I wouldn't want to see a sea of people I don't even know at my (theoretically) milestone moment. It's not date night.

Yes we will because it is also a destination event. Don't want people to be stuck alone on their vacation.

I am sure people will appreciate your thoughtfulness even though they may not all use a +1.

Most of our guests have SO's, but have about 20 single people. Even our great aunts and uncles (over 70 and widowed for 10+ years) will receive a plus one. Hope they bring a date ??!

We wanted to keep our family wedding small and most of the people we invited are already married and are family members. We only gave plus ones to the 3 single people that were invited. We are only having 26 people at our wedding though so I didn't have to put much thought into it lol

We are but most of our guests are currently in relationships so I think we will only have maybe 5-6 extra people if our guests choose to bring someone.

It's super nice and awesome of you. We are struggling to keep our numbers from going above 250 so it's not an option for us

Glad you posted this, I was wondering same thing myself.

We are if they are an adult. if they are old enough to receive their own invite, we gave them a plus one. my cousins who are teenagers we did not. i know that some of them may have boyfriends/girlfriends but in high school we dont consider it serious enough to get to bring someone. plus trying to figure out a count would be crazy if we did.

This is great! You will notice that a lot of people wont even use the plus one given.....at least I didn't; however, I never had RSVP drama.

I wouldn't invite any adults without giving them a plus one to be honest

We're giving everyone a plus one.. Already spending a boat load anyways!

Plus I want my guests to enjoy themselves- and I'd feel uncomfortable at a wedding by myself

After looking over my guest list we aren't really inviting too many single people so we gave them all a plus 1 since it isn't putting a strain on our budget or our max head count.

Plus-ones across the board for us too. I would feel super weird asking someone about their relationship status for the purpose of an invite.

I would guess that if it isn't well know, that your wedding is 21 and up, some guests might decide to bring their kid, as their plus one. My sister had two guests who wanted to bring a child, if their husband had to work (her MIL's friend's 9 year old grandchild), or since their husband scheduled something the same weekend (my cousin with her toddler) - and yes, they both had the STD 10 months in advance. She had to decline their requests.

We did it that way, but mostly cause we had a minimum head count we weren't going to hit anyway, so why not? It's very generous of you, and I'm sure all your single guests appreciate it. How embarrassing it must be to be single, attending event all about couplehood, and have your singleness underscored because you couldn't even bring a guest.
