Covid Plus 1s

I agree with you I’ve always said everyone should get a plus one. But due to current circumstances I do not think it’s a big deal at all to ask that the single invites not bring a plus one due to guest count restrictions. If it’s just a few cousins you should just call them and explain, they will be completely understanding.

I think it's fine if they are single for them not to have a plus one. We gave plus ones to most of our guests that were single, but not all. Most that were single and got a plus one didn't bring a plus one anyways. Since they are family, I definitely don't think they need a plus one because they will know plenty of people.

So in my opinion, it’s kinda an all or nothing thing. You can’t sit there and say some people can have plus ones and others can’t. I would feel really frustrated as a guest.
I understand where you’re coming from but if it’s a small family event than none of your family members should need to bring outside people to your wedding.

Personally I don’t think it’s fair to give plus ones to only the people you want. If you allow plus ones, then everyone should get that option. I totally get what your saying, and covid is making everything different but I would be hurt if I didn’t get a plus one, and “cousin Jane” got a plus one....ya know.

I would skip all plus ones. Unless they have a significant other who you are specifically inviting by name, I’d just opt out. People understand there are guest limitations at this time, it’d be weird to give a seat to a random person rather than a friend it could have gone to.

I think it’s fine, like you said the reason being single at weddings was awful was because you were seated away from friends at a singles table... your guests obviously won’t that problem, theyll be with family

If someone is in a long-term/serious relationship, they need to be invited with that person. If you are inviting someone who won't know anyone else at the wedding, you should let that person bring a guest, especially if they're traveling. No one else needs to get a plus one. It's better to let people sit with their friends/ people they get along with than to make a singles table. I think it's better to just not give plus ones to any relatives than to give them to single aunts and uncles who already know each other and can sit together.

You don’t have to give a plus one to a single guest ever. It’s courteous when they won’t know any other guests, but etiquette wise, still not a necessity.

You don’t have to! Especially now with covid altering your size of list

It Isnt Necessary. Our Single Guests Will Not Be Having Plus Ones And Those Who Are in A Relationship We Already Added Their Significant Other As A Guest.

We left our bridal party members keep their plus ones which is mostly best friends and my side, my sister can bring her boyfriend, my second moh whos my best friend can bring her husband whos my best friend as well, my other two bridesmaids, one is inviting both of us to her wedding next year and the other are both close friends. My hubbys side has one plus one and shes a professional make up and hair person whos doing my trail and day of for free. So those were good reasons why our bridal party members could keep their plus ones. From there we decided that 2 friends who are mutual friends can come because there's one more mutual friend in that group and they only know each other. Important family friends got dropped to couples only and not their kids who ive grown up with. A few family friends know each other so since we arent as close with some of the spouses we decided that as long as theres people they know then if their spouse isnt someone we are close to then plus ones had to be dropped and for couples who wouldnt have a ride unless from their spouse basically got bumped down and my stepchildrens mom and stepdad as well as grandparents are still welcome because we try to keep the kids in a environment where we show we all love them equally and seeing everyone together at times helps create a strong step mother and step father relationships. So basically we choosed who was closest to us compared to others, who would know other people to chat with and sit with if we couldnt offer a plus one and then cutting people if it was hard to only invite one or another and explaining why. I had a 85 guest list count and my venue will only allow 50 at the most for now so when you have to cut 35 people, Its really a matter of who's important to you, who gives their time to you even if it means you may not see each other a lot but constantly talk and share feelings vs who is someone who is apart of your growing up or what not but may not even really speak with you very much except parties and gatherings. In my experience so far as a bride planning to go through with her 10/30/2020 wedding, people arent really offended by being told they cant come or that you can't accommodate a plus one, they are more sad for the bride because shes going through hell on top of having to readjust everything. I even cut family out that doesn't really bother with us often because theres people that do more so and when your hand is tide, it has to come from what is best for you and who you know is 100% for you. I have a couple who is a friend from a online group in a close state for a rare disease we share and she is coming to the wedding as long as its allowed which means she takes a risk but because she is so willing to do so, it means more to me then someone who says whats up and hangouts every now and then. Someone willing yet scared is worth the time and she doesn't know anyone but me and hubby so thats why she has a plus one but we spend hours a day chatting so she gives so much time where as my aunt hasn't showed her face unless my grandpa is in the hospital so to me, no theres others who give their time more and thats how it has to work for me. I hope i was helpful in some way or another!
