Switching Invited guest for a stranger

I love the naturey look of it!

For our wedding all SOs are invited as they should be. We have about 20 solo guests, and, if needed, their new SOs will be included on the invites when the invites go out in early May. There is no way I am allowing people to sub in random people for the SOs or allow only some of my 20 solo guests to bring dates. Although our BP can bring whoever the heck they want b/c they are special. At $200/head, I would love to put any money saved on dates or SOs that can't come into other things. For example, I'd love to pay for my BMs to have their hair done. If two SOs can't come, this is taken care of. I don't plan to add in B-list people at all. We've asked for RSVPs a week before we need to give the head count (2 weeks out) and final menu selection. Our budget is finite, but SOs not being able to attend gives us way more flexibility. And if everyone's SO can come, great! I'd love to see them/meet them b/c one day I might be sharing their special day. Your SO is totally worth the money. It's not that I care any bit about your random friend coming or not, but I'd rather not spend the money on your random friend when I could spend it on pedicures with my BMs. Maybe that makes me a terrible person and a little selfish, but oh well.

I get what your saying that's money that could be put toward better hosting your intended guests or savings.... Not that people are dollar signs but you are budgeting for people you want there SOs included not random people you may or maynot like
