Invitation Etiquette

I'm sure it's been asked a billion times already but ..  I'm curious as to how most of you are handling the invitations when it comes to deciding whether to add " & Guest"... Are there certain guidelines most brides follow?    I was thinking, for the younger crowd, to just do them SOLO.   But then in the case of my brother who's going to be 20 at the time, he's been with his gal for almost 4 years, so I'd definitely have them both on the invite.   Help.

    I think it is totally up to you and FI and your budget.  We are doing and guest for a couple of FI's cousins that around around 18 and have been with the same girlfriend/boyfriend for a while.  There are other cousins that are around the same age that are being invited as singles. I hope this helps.

    This may be a bit "mean", but we're only allowing dates for people that are married, engaged or living together. We're paying for the wedding, we're not paying for a cousin's boyfriend-of-the-month or an uncle's girl-he-met-at-the-grocery-store-last-week.Basically, if its somebody WE wouldn't know if we fell over them, I'm not looking at them in my wedding album.

    I think it definitely depends on what you and your FI feel is best or what you can afford. I know for us if it is our close friends that may not be with someone we are still inviting them with a guest. I would feel horrible if they had to sit around and see everyone else that is with someone or engaged to someone and have no one to slow dance with etc. I also want my guests to have an enjoyable time and I feel that having someone to bring can enhance that. Again this is just me and everyone is different. We are also basing our decision off of age I have a few cousins that will be 21 around the time and even though they may not have a serious girlfriend I feel they are age appropriate to be accompanied with a guest. I hope that helps and GL!
