Guests inviting their own plus ones

We aren’t really planning to use plus ones, but instead invite those significant others/friends that we know and have met. Well I have had my moms friend invite her husband (who I last met when I was probably 8 years old and don’t even remember him). I was also going to invite my cousin’s...
We aren’t really planning to use plus ones, but instead invite those significant others/friends that we know and have met. Well I have had my moms friend invite her husband (who I last met when I was probably 8 years old and don’t even remember him). I was also going to invite my cousin’s significant other although I only met him once a few years ago he stayed at our home and I got to know him. When my aunt found out about this she invited my other cousin’s significant other who I have never met in my life and didn’t even know he was seeing anyone. Our venue has a limit and we are already tight on cash and can’t afford everyone to have plus ones. How do I avoid people inviting their own plus ones? And what do I say?

    I completely understand what you are saying and feeling because we were discussing this a week ago and with all these plus ones. Its adding up but it has went pass our capping point. Ok so tell them that we are at our limit and are max out and can't add no more ppl

    Fit the people I knew were in relationships, their boyfriends/girlfriends were automatically invited. For all of my single friends they did not get plus ones. I know if I were in a relationship I would want my SO with me even if they’ve never met the couple. We did ask our closer single friends if they wanted plus ones and when they said no we just stuck with our rule of all coupes are invited. When I sent out invitations I put the exact number of people that were invited within that one invitation.

    A Plus One is an open invitation to invite someone of their choosing. A Plus One is given to a single guest and allows them to bring a companion to the event. Plus Ones are not required, though are a nice gesture, especially if the guest doesn't know a lot of people at the wedding or is traveling. Significant Others - including boyfriends and girlfriends - are not Plus Ones and should be invited automatically with their partner because they are a social unit.
