Plus One

Emilee, on May 12, 2020 at 2:46 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

Is it wrong to tell people they can't bring a plus one to our wedding?

We want a small quiet wedding with only close family and friends, and would prefer not to have random people we don't know showing up.

    Plus ones are for truly single people and are not required. Etiquette dictates that couples (regardless of the length of time of their relationship) should always be invited as a couple (even if you haven't met their SO) as they are a social unit.

    I think if space is an issue then that's totally fine

    Plus ones are never required and very often never done. Guests know you will have space/budget concerns. Only put invited guests names on invites and don't let people pressure you.

    As long as you aren’t referring to a significant other as a plus one it’s fine.

    We aren't giving our single guests a plus one. As long as you're inviting couples you definitely don't need to invite additional guests.

    At first we were going to give single guests a plus one, but with everything going on, we realized we might have to cut our guest list down. I felt similar to you though, I didn’t want random people at my wedding.

    It’s your wedding. Do what is best for you! We are only doing plus ones if they’re married, or living together but not married, we honestly can’t invite everyone with a plus 1, there’s no room for that many people. Sorry, no plus one if you’ve been together like a month

    I saw another post about this, and the polite way to do is to include “we reserve 1 seat for you” thing.

    We only dedicated a plus one to our friends/family that is either married or in a serious relationship. Our single friends didnt not receive a plus one due to size/budget concerns. I just felt that it didnt make sense for us considering we are having a smaller wedding anyways.
