Is it weird?! Help needed

We've accounted for a guest for everyone single just in case they'd like to bring a guest. Then when they RSVP it will be easier to plan for more and end up with a little less on our numbers...and we are prepared for the highest $'s on our catering bill...then if it ends up a little less that's all good.

Search back a couple of pages because someone just asked this question this morning and there was some great advice given.

I think the general idea everyone seemed to agree on is anyone in a committed relationship was given a plus 1. Otherwise its really your preference. Im adding plus ones for people traveling a long distance and for people who don't know anyone else at the wedding so they can have a friend.

Thanks I'll look for it

It's more common than you think for people to not offer +1's for unmarried guests. However, if you chose to do this, you need to make a rule and stick to it like glue, or else that will cause drama. The typical is to invite the SOs of someone who is married, engaged, or is known to be in a long-term relationship - the people in newer relationships or no relationships will not get a +1.

I personally decided to do +1s for everyone just because I knew a couple friends would only know me/my hubby and absolutely no one else. I figured they would appreciate having someone to talk to.

We only offered plus ones for people in committed relationships. My husband has a lot of single friends and we didn't want them brining someone we didn't even know to the wedding and us paying for them. Everyone was fine with it and understood. Plus most of them liked that since they didn't have to being a guest and entertain them.

However dh got invited to a wedding last summer and he didn't get to bring a date and I thought that was super weird cuz we had been dating for 2 years and obviously in a committed relationship.

It's up to you whether or not you want to grant a "plus 1". You could give a plus one to different people and you do not have to invite kids.

We had a DW, the majority of guests were couples, however, we did allow the one single to bring a date. He chose not to. Children were not invited.

At my daughter's wedding, only people who were in relationships were given a plus one invite. That means that her single girlfriends didn't weren't allowed to bring just anyone they met at the bar. Most people her and your age understand the cost of a wedding. She also chose not to invite children.

Good luck!

It is not weird to want to bring someone with you to a wedding, which I think is what you're asking-- it can feel very 'lonely' if the only person you know is either the bride or groom, to be surrounded by a bunch of people who seem to be having a blast and you feel like you have no one to talk to. If you have room and can afford the plus-ones, it's nice of you to do.
