Plus 1's??

As always.... I'm just going to go ahead and keep this meme on my phone.. because it seems to work for 99.9% of the time I want to comment..

Che----your very first comment.... I felt as if someone were slowly stabbing my eyes with a screwdriver, at the same time. I'm not an English professor, but grammar...for the love of cats, it's important!!!!

FH and I were together for 7 months when we PURCHASED our first house together. This shows how serious we were about our future. We were serious since we became a couple. Serious since day one.

For those that think you can determine the seriousness of a couple, give it up. Unless that couple invites you directly into their relationship, don't assume you can consider what might be "Serious".

You have 8 months to go, and yet your niece will have to go stag? So wrong. If her SO is accepted or not, people need to get over that issue. But at this point... sounds to me like you are searching for every excuse in the book, along with your family members, to go out of your way to make the niece feel as uncomfortable, unaccepted and as hurt as you possibly can. For shits and giggles. Misery loves company. Maybe the niece is extremely happy and everyone is trying to steal that away.

Correct me if I'm totally wrong on this but the only time you wouldn't give someone a plus one if they're in a relationship would be if you already sent the invites before they entered into the relationship. So say they started dating someone a month before the wedding and received their invite and RSVP'd 2 weeks before, then you wouldn't extend the invitation to their new SO.

I would leave wiggle room now for friends who might start a relationship before you send out invites.

Also, if you do have a friend who starts dating someone a month before the wedding and they asked if they could bring their new SO and you had some people RSVP no, at that point would it be okay to extend the invite? I don't think it would count as B listing since you didn't know the person before invites were sent but I don't know if that comes off as rude?

Agree about the wedding party plus 1s. Otherwise, you're good. You don't need to give them to everyone.
