What's your plus one policy?

We honestly gave everyone a plus one. We have a couple older relatives who are divorced or widowed that we did not give one to but other than that, they all got one!

A significant other is not a plus one, but half of a social unit and is invited by name. Only the two people involved in a couple can determine whether or not they are a couple. It is not based on length of relationship, engagement, living together, or any factor other than the feelings of the members of the couple. Inviting both halves of a couple is not optional.

Plus ones are dates; offering to let a guest invite a date is optional.

Everyone got a plus one.

Honestly, I just assume some people are gonna bring plus 1s whether they are invited or not.
I'm inviting my cousins family. If her 2 17 & 18 year old kids bring dates, they do. It's just gonna happen.
Honestly hoping for a few declines so I can take some extra tables out but still have extra seating.

We gave +1 to all of our single friends. It's nice to give someone the option to bring someone. I speak from experience that it can be a bummer to sit through wedding festivities on your own. We want everyone on our guest list to fully enjoy our special day.

Everyone who is single should definitely get a plus one when possible! The hard thing when people try to limit to "only those in a serious relationship" is how can you decide whose relationship is "serious" enough to warrant a plus one? Can get tricky and cause drama real quick.

For our wedding we were extremely particular on plus ones... We did not offer plus ones to everyone.. even if in a relationship. We only gave the option of plus ones or addressed invitations to those who We have close relationships with and where We actually know their significant other. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to pay for a person you don’t know to attend your wedding... I think out of control plus ones is the reason why so many people go above their wedding budgets and end up in wedding debt. We also made our wedding an “adults only”. I say stick to a budget and a certain number of people, know what you can truly afford. In the end the most important people to have attending your wedding are your family’s and friends. We wanted to make sure they could be there first before opening up invitations to complete strangers.

We gave it to everyone. It wasn't worth the fight later on to deal with.

If they are an adult worthy of invitation they should be given the option of a plus one!

We gave plus ones to everyone we knew that was in a relationship.

My policy is no lol

we invited all SOs by name. if someone were to get into a serious relationship before then we would probably make an exception. we did tell my cousin no when she added an "and date" to her invitation because etiquette be damned that girl is not bringing one of her new boy every week dates to my wedding. primarily because I hate her and she has legit brought my ex bf to family events before so heck no

my boss is the one exception to this because he lives with, shares finaces with, and has a kid with a lady. he literally never is with anyone else but he super pettily did not want her invited by name but he just assumed he got a plus one. he's my boss so I kinda just went with it lol I keep telling him he needs to decide wich gf to bring because otherwise her escort card will say Roger's side chick lmao we also joked the other day about him not sending in his RSVP. I said if he didn't get it in in time his +1 was revoked lmao he said he would leave her in the car with the window cracked like a dog (ps dogs or dates should not be left in the car) lmao what a dummy

View Quoted Comment We did not offer any of our guests a plus one. If they were in a serious relationship (i.e. engaged or living together), I addressed the invitation to both of them. I had 2 people ask me if they could bring a plus one but I politely told them that we needed to keep the guest list down so we were not able to offer plus ones. I haven’t had any problems.

View Quoted Comment I told my family money was a factor and we wanted to keep it simple and elegant. Also if they were not in a serious relationship they did not get a plus one. No one gave me flack about it they understood.

We are having a small affair, only 60 people, but the 60 is a minimum, so the plus one situation helps us meet our guest count. Most of our adults are getting plus ones. There is one cousin that I am not extending a plus one to because I didn't want to invite her in the first place because she is always rude and nasty to me. So instead of looking like the rude one, I'm sending out an invitation to her and her parents, excluding her plus one hehe. Yes, I'm petty.

I will not be giving out plus ones. My invites will be for each individual because I need an accurate head count (hence husband and wife get seperate invites).

Anyone who is married or in a long term relationship are getting invited together. Friends who won’t know anyone else there are getting a plus 1. Single family members are not getting a plus 1 unless they fall in the married/long term relationship category. It’s simply just not in the budget and the space is limited.

We've decided to only allow married couples to have plus ones and people that we have known to be in long term relationships. Other than that it's you and only you.

Not all the time everyone you invite will RSVP and be able to come. So if you have room and you want to be generous then you can allow a few others to bring plus ones if you choose too. Its not very important to me at this time to add plus 1's for anyone.

Corine I completely agree with your response. Why give everyone the option to bring a plus one. thats not what the day s for or about.

My plus one is for the couples who are married or the couples who I have known for a long time and they are in a relationship.

We have about 300 invited guests not including plus ones. I can’t afford to give anyone a plus one. The only people that are getting them are people that don’t know anyone else attending. It sucks because I know people like to bring their SO’s. But coworkers and friends can all sit together at least so they won’t be lonely. That’s all I can do.
