Hello fellow brides-to-be,
Im not getting married until October 2017 but I am trying to get a guest count that way I can determine venue and get that on lock down. I will start out by saying my father's side alone is 4 uncles, 3 aunts, 7 of their spouses/significant others and 21 cousins..so this is not even including my mother's side or fiance's father's side immediate family and friends. When determining the "plus 1", what is the "rule of thumb" or guest etiquette? We both have cousins and friends that are married, so we will address the invitations as a family to them but how do I go about the others? Does everyone over the age of 18 get the option of plus 1? Im really confused and stressed about the guests.
