Paying for plus ones

@katie thank you! This will help me prevent that awkwardness of having to turn away someone on the guest list. I just know the way my family is and they'll try and squeeze someone in.

Whoa, no need to be so harsh. She just asked a simple question. Weddings are super expensive, but I wouldn't do this to cover costs. I think it would be tacky.

Oh dear god. So tacky. Please don't do that. I would think it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard if I was a guest.

This has got to be a joke right?

Just don't allow plus ones. You are not required to if they are not a significant other.

@Ashley people are harsh because this might be the rudest idea I've ever seen, and the severity of it needs to come across.

@Crystal you don't need to invite anyone outside of the guest and only plus 1 you pay for. They don't get to add 5 guests, which I think is the problem you were referencing when you said "people outside of the relationship of significant other i.e. Coworkers, friends, family..." etc. I've really never heard of a wedding guest inviting their own coworkers or family, but maybe it does happen. On your RSVP cards just write " ____ out of _____" attending and fill in the second line with the number of guests the invitation is for (and are paid for!)

Absolutely no. One of my bridesmaid is from Scotland and is coming over with her for the wedding. She offered to pay for her mom to be at the wedding. I told her that I would be honor if her mom attended as her plus one. No payment was necessary because is my honor to have a spot for her mother.

You reign in your family; if they RSVP with extra people, keep in mind that they are the people with rude behaviour, not you. You call them up and say it's not possible.

If you don't want to host a guest, they don't belong there. It's really pretty simple.

This is an extra special kind of rude. I have never heard of anyone doing that or considering it.

Girl you're trolling. If you can't afford plus ones don't invite them and never ask for money. You're ridiculous.

Ummm you're joking right?

It has to be a joke.

I wouldn't go to anyone's wedding alone.

That will sound classy af on invitations.

No. Just no. If you can't afford plus ones then don't offer them.

People aren't attacking you as a person, just your idea.

You don't *have* to give plus ones to guests who are truly single. For any guests who are in a relationship though, they must be invited with their significant others which is sounds like you do understand from you original post, so that's good.

So I tell people if they want to bring extra people they have to pay but it's joke only make accommodation for those who you can

Ugg, so annoying when people revive zombie threads.

You don't ever ask anyone attending your wedding to pay, no matter who they are. In this case only invite a plus one for people who have SO.

Too lazy to read all the other comments but I'm sure someone else explained why that idea is totes not cool. Just give people a plus 1, FFS.

No, just no.
