I saw this question on another site and wanted to post it. A lot of people stated in the discussion that it's "totally normal to not have plus ones at a wedding" or "c
utting plus ones is the easiest way to save on budget".
Question is below..Ashley and I have been friends since high school, I consider her to be my best friend. I'm not in her wedding because her fiancé only has 3 friends and she has friends she's known since birth so she had to cut people out of being her bridesmaid. My feelings were kind of hurt because we hang out and talk more than any of her other friends.... but I told her I completely understand!
Now, I was talking to her about the seating chart and she said no one who isn't married is allowed a plus one. I said "okay that kind of sucks but I understand, who am I sitting with?" You guys, she's sitting me at a table of 8 couples and I will be the only person with no date. I have a lot of social anxiety and the thought of sitting there being the 9th wheel is seriously stressing me out!!!
I don't want to make a big deal, it's her wedding she can do as she pleases, but every wedding I've been to I've had a plus one on the invite. Is this normal to tell your close friends they aren't allowed a date? So during the slow songs I'm to just sit at the table alone? Am I being a brat about this?
