Ok, in trying to trim back our wedding guest list the slightest bit I've seen mixed info on +1s. As far as I'm concerned, most of my friends are either in a serious relationship or married so they all have their +1s coming. My FH has friends who have been single for years, and I'm debating giving them a +1 for a few reasons. First, at previous weddings they never brought anyone, and second, the more I research, the more I see that you follow the rules of... are they living together? Are they engaged and/or married? Then yes they get a +1. I dont want to have people bringing random guests just to do it. Also, the single friends will be seated next to their friends so they wont be "alone". Many of them are just long-term single people who hang out with those same friends who will be at the celebration anyways. Since postponing, our new venue cannot hold the extravagant number of individuals we had anticipated for this year. Trying to cut back where we can politely before un-invitations are sent out post covid.
Thanks in advance!
