Inviting Sos of friends?

So I have 2 friends and we all lived together once before and invited both of them to our wedding.

So I have 2 friends and we all lived together once before and invited both of them to our wedding. Both of them have long term boyfriends (dating for 2 years +) but I only invited one of their boyfriends. The reason being is that my FH and I have stayed at that friend's place multiple times when we come visit and have met/hung out with her BF each time. As for the other friend, I've only met her BF once and don't really know much about him. Because I invited the BF of one of them, I feel like I should invite the other. She asked for a plus one but I told her that depending on the RSVPs, I will let her know if there is room. Seems like a fair reason but should I have included her BF to the count from the beginning?

For those that already had their wedding, what % of guest accepted the invite? We are also trying to see if there is room for the children of our guests as well since my FH and I work in the children's department in church (1.5-5 year olds) and we would love to see them at the wedding too! Currently, we only counted children of our family and those that have children over 10 years old. But then I feel like I should let all my guest bring their children so its fair.

    You’re in the wrong. Anyone who has a significant other gets invited with them. It’s rude to not invite people as a social unit. That’s like inviting you to a wedding without your FH

    It is extremely rude to not invite the boyfriend. SO's are not plus ones, couples get invited together. No matter the issue with your budget or space or whatever other reason, if you want to invite one part of the couple, you must invite both.

    I think this is the reality of what happens when you don't invite somebody's so. Either they decline, or they go but leave early because they're not having fun. People who want to exclude so's live in this bubble where they think that their guests will happily RSVP yes and dance the night away and have a fabulous time. Instead, their wedding is probably remembered as not one of the fun ones.
