Etiquette for single guests

Yes!

Almost correct. All couples must be invited together. Bridal party should get a plus one if they're single. Other single guests is your call. Personally, we gave all guests a plus one.

Anyone who is in a relationship should have their significant other addressed by name. Typically you should extend plus ones to your bridal party but you don't have to for all single guests especially if they will know other people at the wedding.

Okay, thank you so much! Any tips on how to address/word the invitations would be lovely. For example we have a couple of FH's cousins with SO's that will be invited, but cousins still live with their parents who will also be invited. Do I send two separate invites to the same house, for the cousin/SO and one for the cousins parents? Sorry if that's confusing! I'm having a bit of trouble with this and I just want it down pact before I actually have to do all this down the line

If they're over 18, they should get a separate invite

Yes, you would send different invites. Are they over 18? Anyone over 18 should get their own invite, regardless of whether or not they live at home.

Yes they are over 18 so I will send them separate invites. Thank you everyone for the clarity!

You can do what YOU WANT...it's YOUR wedding!

Definitely @Kate luckily all our guests are tight knit and only family and very close friends so I think everyone will be comfortable, if not though I will be sure to extend the plus one. Thank you!

We are having a DW of 50 people. There are only a few single guests and we did not give them a +1. We really just wanted it to be our nearest and dearest. Although if one of the singles had developed a relationship before the wedding, I would have had no problem adding a seat for their partner.

I'm in the same boat..I have a huge family and want to keep my guest list under 100 people for budget reasons...(paying for it ourselves)

I finally came up with the decision that if I haven't met the person, they aren't invited. I'm also thinking about having no kids unless it's the bridal party (but not sure yet on that).

Honestly if I'm inviting people that live in the same household (example, my father, great-uncle, and oldest sister live in the same house and all have he same last name.) I will save having to address multiple invites by making one that is mailed off to "The Messina Family" If they decide they want their own invite for a keepsake or such, I would have extra invites printed out just incase

Kailee, you seem great. Would you mind changing your avatar so we can tell you apart from other double ringers?

FMW, having no kids is fine. Omitting to invite any SO's of your guests, whether or not you've met them, is really really rude. You may offend the people closest to you with that plan.

Samantha, inviting people in "families" means that they get to define who is "family". So they can invite Grandma, Grandpa, cousins and etc. As long as you're Ok with that...
