First the plus one issue - we were very "stingy" per say on who we put on our guest list because we both have bigger families and an extended Fire Department family making the guest list within budget and reason very hard to create. We really only invited our friends that are either married, engaged, or has a long term (1 year plus) SO or to be blunt and maybe to sound rude to some friends that havent been with a SO our whole relationship (over 4 years). Over the past month after STD went out we have had a few people a couple of which are in the wedding party reaching out asking if they have a plus one....which means their slam piece of the month to be blunt which is what we dont want there. as we all know weddings are costly and we would like to keep it our close friends and family (which is a lot) is it wrong to deny them a +1 or to tell them we will be extending that offer to the ones who didnt get one once we start getting RSVPs back but at this time no they do not?
Second issue - if you invite your soon to be FIL wife that you are actually close with to the bachlorette party do you then in turn have to invite the soon to be MIL that you nor the groom are that close with? Clearly they both would be invited to the Bridal Shower.
Third Issue - long story short my mom passed away 6 years ago my dad recently started dating her very very toxic "best friend" she was not invited to my first wedding that thankfully never happened and I struggle that I have to allow her to be at this one as my fathers guest......is it okay to not extend an invite to my bridal shower to her?
Thanks so much in advance for the input
one lost bride without her momma to help with the sticky stuff lol
