Does the wedding party get guests??

Thank goodness im having only MOH and bm but it would be kinda harder on them but our bm has a family so they will be coming so i think if they want a guest then why not but they need to keep up their parts that they were asked to do

Ultimately the choice is yours -- but if they were not in your bridal party and were simply invited... would you allow them a guest?

When it comes to plus ones, I think you need to do what is best for your budget. Obviously spouses and fiancees should be included. I have also added people who live with their SO. I draw the line at casual dates.

We invited the spouses and partners of our wedding party, but didn't let them bring a random plus one. We got some blowback from one of the GMs, but we wanted an intimate wedding and didn't want strangers hanging around. The wedding party was too busy to really entertain a guest, anyway.

I think it depends on the size of your wedding; if it's really intimate, a random plus one is probably going to feel out of place anyway. I mean, really, if you're casually dating someone, do you want to go to a wedding with them? Probably not.

My BP + one will be the same as other guest with the exception of one of my BM who is driving 6hours I'm allowing her a + one for travel reasons.

I am allowing mine to bring plus ones.. but I know 3 of the GM are married or very close to it.. one is single and he wont bring anyone, then BM will probably not bring plus ones and the MOH is married and her husband is working security at my wedding..

I think it used to be expected, but with the economy and the times it's not a "given" anymore. We only invited significant others of people in our wedding party. We didn't give them a generic plus one. (We really had to cut our guest list though. For people outside our wedding party, we only gave significant others that had been together for a long time, were engaged or married.)

We had to cut our guest list so we did not allow them to bring guests. Every member of our bp is in a new relationship and we haven't meet their dates. We didnt feel fair that they bring strangers when some of our friends didn't make the cut.

We have a strict no plus one policy unless married, engaged or living together. However, all members of our bridal party get a plus one. To me it is a perk of standing up for us.

I am close with my bridal party and their families so that wasn't a problem for me. If you have someone in your bridal party whose family isn't coming I would still let them have a plus one but just let them know that it's ok for them to bring a date and not a date plus one. If that makes any sense.

All our plus one are also married, engaged or living together. The MOH and BM are both married so there's no question. We're having a small wedding so we don't want random strangers around.

The only exception that you should probably think about is if you have one random person who doesn't know anyone else. When I started grad school I shared a house with my landlady and we're still close. I know it's weird, but she was really great to me. She knows my FH and one friend coming to the wedding but pretty much nobody else. I let her bring her daugther because I didn't want her to feel strange. But on the other hand I know the daugther and like her.

Thanks for the advice... I think I will play it out and tell those in my party who are involved with someone to come, not just bring someone random. Thanks!!

Most of my bridal party are either married or engaged so of course we included their SO. We do have one single GM and we did add a plus one on his RSVP since they don't have any tasks except from standing next to us in the ceremony and have a good time!! As of matter of fact we allowed all our single friends bring a plus one.

We treated our wedding party as we would any wedding guest; they were allowed to bring their family or a plus one. We are having a sweetheart table and our wedding party and their guests will fill two other tables.

My MOH and the Best man are married to each other so that works out and them my BFF who is my BM is also married... so done there! lol i agree with others, only if they are in a commited relationship, no random strangers.

We are doing what Amy did. Only for the Bridal Party. And those that are married, engaged, in a serious relationship. However, we are hoping the one's that are not dating anyone serious do not just bring someone because. If they do, they do. Can't really bitch since we allowed them a plus one.
