what is your plus one plan?

Anonymous, on December 8, 2013 at 9:24 PM

My fh is telling me everyone gets a plus one. I'm trying to explain to him that no that is not how people do it. My plan is anyone that is in a serious relationship will get a plus one. Also if they are a single person who knows no one else. What's your cut off as to who gets a plus one

    We did a plus one for people that were in a serious relationship. We sent our RSVP's with "we have reserved ____ seats in your honor." There were a couple people that asked if they could bring someone but we let them know that we were very limited on seating and I would let them know if we had more declines. We weren't able to add in the end, but there were plenty of other people they knew so it shouldn't be a big deal.

    Also if its a guest that knows NO ONE else at all, then I would give a plus one.

    I'm totally with Shannon-- we had to pay for 100 plates, but couldn't even scrape up 70 friends, so we handed out plus ones like they were candy-- I don't expect most people to handle it that way, though. Smiley sexy

    For our wedding everyone has to travel. So my adult cousins who aren't in a relationship and will he travelling with their family- no plus one. But all our friends who will be travelling solo get a plus one.

    I'm doing case by case basis.

    For instance, a friend from college who is kind of shy and won't know many others I'm giving a plus one - even though she isn't in a relationship right now. Another friend who also isn't in a relationship, but her sister and her sister's husband are also invited and she is a much more outgoing person - I'm not giving her a plus one.

    Basically...we asked our friends who weren't in relationships to not bring anyone. But we also told them if they ended up being with someone they could let us know last minute. (none of them did) Anyone coming out of state or older got a date as welll as anyone in our weddinv party. FYI our wedding ended up being a big party!

    We did anyone in a relationship & I listed them by name on the save the dates.

    My FH's family said it was rude to not give all adults a plus one but then insisted i was rude for writing out full names of SOs instead of "and Guest" I knew to ignore that advice.

    All of our friends are getting plus ones, and any family members in a long-term relationship or married will be invited as a couple. There are some relatives we are, honestly, only inviting out of obligation due to pressure from parents, so they will just be invited as a family unit (i.e: for an uncle, aunt, and cousin, the cousin wouldn't get a plus one if they are not married/in a long-term relationship but still won't be coming alone). Our guest list has, unfortunately, gotten huge because everyone seems to think we need to invite everyone.

    Only the people FH and I are closest to are getting +1 most of the people coming to the wedding are already married or don't really date so it made it super easy for us Smiley smile Everyone is well aware of the small semi intimate nature of our wedding.

    I am giving plus ones to people in relationships only if I know the person they are in a relationship with. I don't feel comfortable with someone I don't know at my wedding.

    We have a few single friends we are not allowing plus ones, they know everyone at the wedding too. When I was was single I was invited to quiet a few weddings solo and had no problem with it I sat with my friends.

    Everyone who lives I town will get a plus one, however, I will not allow any last minute plus ones...unless they want to pony up the price per plate.
