My FH and I thought it would be a nice gesture to give the single members of our wedding party a plus one so that they can bring a date. This has led to nothing but nightmares. My RSVP by date is this Sat and thus far everyone with a plus one that has failed to find a date has decided to go alone except one bridesmaid.
This particular bridesmaid has been trying unsuccessfully to find a date online and is refusing to admit defeat. I just informed her that I need to know if she has found a date and their name by Saturday and she is now telling me that she is dropping out of the wedding. I don't think that I am being out of line here. She's had a long enough amount of time to find a date. The invites were sent on 2/24 and she has known long before then.
I really don't know what to do in this situation. I can't just allow her to bring a compete stranger that she's never met to my wedding. Any advice? I would highly suggest not giving single people plus ones to avoid this situation.
