So Idk if  yall remember the last time I posted my soo called bff was actin a fool and I just left her alone and pretty much cut off the friendship! Well some more important things have happened my father paseed away a couple mths ago and it has been really hard to focus on the wedding not to mention being prego! i have now started back on the wedding and changin the date! I will probably walk down the aisle alone! Its really bothering me but I know he is no longer suffereing and Im grateful for that! Do you all think it's ok for me to ask guests who aren't married or in a serious relationship to not bring a guest? My sisters who aren't married are having a fit becaus eI said no guests. We have a huge family and as you all know every extra person is more $ but they seem to not care! I just feel like they are being very rude and petty!

I dont remember you but sorry to hear about your loss. but congrats on the baby!! I think it should be fine to let guests know that, i mean you are paying for the wedding and just tell them and yuor sisters you can not accomadate all those ppl. can your mom walk you down the aisle?

Sorry about your father it must be hard. and Congrats on your new baby,, I dont remember where i read i think it was the knot that it is ok to ask single guest not to bring a guest.. search on the wedding website, that might help.. like for Example in my case i ask my bother not to bring a guest "Hello he's single and he wanted to bring another friend so he wont be bored,, what a jerk?

Wow sounds like you are going through a tough time. My father passed away last year, so my mom will be walking me down the aisle. Maybe if you aren't close with your mom, you can ask someone else you are close with. I wouldn't want to walk down the aisle by myself, I need someone to steady me because I will be so nervous.

I know ettiquete says you should let everyone you invite bring a guest. I would just consider it on a case by case basis. I would want to make sure no one feels left out, for example I wouldn't want to invite someone and not let them bring a guest if they don't know anyone else at the wedding or all the people they know are married. However if you want to invite coworkers but not their dates I think that is fine. And for family I wouldn't worry about it at all, they should feel comfortable with or without their dates.

Good luck with the wedding planning, and congrats on the baby!

Wow I"m so sorry you are going through so much. I'm really sorry for your loss but with that comes a new life with your baby! You must be very strong to be handling all of this and I wish you nothing but the best.

Oh and it's totally ok to invite people single without a guest if they are not engaged married or living together and in a serious relationship!

Sorry for your loss and I totally agree, I've invited single guests without a date and I think its totally fine.  That doesn't me they still won't call to ask to bring one but be strong =)

I completely agree with pp that you should not invite plus ones when you know that you can't.

My condolences on your father's passing. When is your baby due?
