I'm probably making this more complicated than necessary...

Re: I'm probably making this more complicated than necessary...

  • If a person is truly single at the time invitations go out, then you do not need to give them a plus one.

    Define "isn't even around yet." I think that it's better to err on the side of caution and respect for loved ones by inviting their significant other.

    And, you can ask your friends, but you will come off as bride-zilla-ish because you're essentially asking for them to either 1) not get in relationships until after your wedding or 2) ditch THEIR significant other so you can MARRY YOURS (see the double standard there?). I think you'll just have to either alter your "vision" or make some tough cuts.
    By "Isn't around yet" I mean the person I'd be giving the plus one to is completely single- so I'd be giving a plus one on the off chance that they met someone between sending out invites and the wedding- and those truly single people would be the people I'd ask if they'd be ok with not getting a plus one, I wouldn't ask anyone who was in any sort of relationship.  Should I just skip asking and just not send out the plus ones to single people?  I wasn't sure if that was something I should double-check was okay with my single guests.
    OH, OK. I see what you mean.

    If you are sending STDs and they are single now, there is no need to include a plus-one on the STD.

    If when you send invites, they are STILL single, you DO NOT have to extend a plus one. I wouldn't ask, especially if you know they will know others there and sit them with people they know. It would make it too complicated.
    Thanks for the advice :)
