Friends broke up invite question

I am all for plus ones for those not in a relationship (because that's not a plus one situation I have learned on here). If you can, do it.

Careful about anticipating declines however

I'm on Team PlusOnesForAll, especially for a DW.

@Nonna Truth re: declines. I can feed and seat everyone if all 223 people RSVP yes (many cousins invited to make my dad happy that both he and I think will decline. He isn't paying but it wasn't worth any bad feelings to me) but boy would it be cozy.

@JPC It's in my hometown so it's destination for FH's family, most of our friends, and some of my family but I don't think I'd call it a DW necessarily.

I definitely think I'll extend a plus one for the girl in this scenario (let's call her S) because S will really be alone without a date and because she's a good enough female friend that I may end up having her on my bridal shower/bachelorette invite list (that I give to my MOH who has asked me to start making one). For the guy (we'll call him J) I may just ask him if he wants a plus one next time I see him or if he wants to just buddy up with our other mutual guy friend who is invited (and without a plus one as he isn't seeing anyone).

@Kate My money would be on her not coming. J is more in my friend group than S is (although I like S a lot)!

Sorry...I just re-read that. But I'm still voting for Plus1

@JPC Ugh in a perfect world I'd give everyone a plus one but now FH has started law school/has made friends there he may want to invite and most of them are married so figuring out the politics of that (recent friends versus extending a plus one to older friends) is hard since we are at the edge of capacity.

You don't have to worry about people's hotel arrangements, so you don't have to base your "and guest decision" based on that. If you are friends with her and want her at your wedding, invite her.

If you have budget and capacity to extend invitations to guests/plus ones for your single friends, then do so.

I would extend her a +1 if she is traveling.

@Coffee I'm at the edge of capacity (and budget although that's slightly less important since I built in wiggle room) with venue space. We'll see, it's a new break up so I'll wait it out before making a decision but the wedding invites are going out in February.

@Nikki Oof, sorry you are in the same situation but glad that someone else is for reference!
