Guest list

I think it depends on the situation. For example, we did not give single guests plus ones. However, anyone in a relationship is invited as a social unit. I do have a single friend on the list whose been “dating” this girl for awhile. I’m not 100% sure of the nature or “title” of their relationship, but I have met her. If they are still hanging out when invites go out, I will extend one to her as courtesy. Just because I’m not sure if they’re titling their relationship, but I know they are together frequently.

I think this is a 100% personal preference thing. My FH and I are allowing plus ones to our wedding because we wanted our guests to be comfortable, (and we also know the plus ones). I completely understand you both wanting to know everyone at your wedding. I would just make sure that your guests mostly know each other if you are not allowing plus ones. This way, the unmarried guests coming alone would be able to sit with people they know.

I would be careful though. Some of your guests who may be dating could be uncomfortable if they are unable to bring their significant other with them to the wedding. If they've been with their significant other for longer period of time, they might want them to attend the wedding with them.

I gave everyone a plus one because I wouldn’t want to go to a wedding alone. But not everyone chose to bring someone.

View Quoted Comment Just write the invitation out to only those invited. For ours I’m including a spot on the invite that says “We reserved —- seats in your honor.” That was my polite way of saying no extra guests

I like that idea

I didn't give everyone a plus one. Esp those in friend groups invited altogether. But I did extend it to ppl who didn't know anyone at all and were introverts
