African American Weddings

And guest...

Just asking is everyone letting everyone bring a guest, or just those in serious relationships?

    When I was having my wedding at home, I was going to do just serious relationships vs. flavor of the month that I do not know.  Now that im doing a DW, hell I do not care who they bring.

    If your budget allows, do a plus one. If not, they'll have to put their "flavor of the month" at home.

    Serious relationship and those that do no know anyone at the wedding except myself and FI.  The guests that would be bringing the flavors of the month know enough people at the wedding to be entertained.

    No plus one's unless in a serious relationship. The flavor of the month can stay home.

    No plus oness unless I know your plus one! I don't care if you are married or else. If I know your significant other, then yes. I have sorority sisters and there is just to many of us. There is kind of an unwritten rule that we only invite the soror. Now FI decided to do his side of the guest list differently. He did the traditional way and invited the plus for the significant other whether we knew them or not. It cut his guest list in half and he had to cut many people he knew and wanted to be there because of it. The way i see (very hot topic for me) is that they aint putting no money to pull this off and I want people there that I know! Not half I know and half I don't. If you allow people to bring a plus one, they will just find someone to bring!

    Oh Braxton I totally agree that people will just bring someone and not think about the money you had to spend on that +1. I am going to have that similar situation when I start to send invites out because their are a few relatives that I'm not close with and if I invite them, then only them. I figured if I am inviting you and don't really want to but for the sake of the family. I will not pay also extra for your guest. I don't even know them like that, so I don't know if the have a relationship or not.I hope by doing this, they won't come and I can cancel them and invite somebody else....hehehe(that is mean)

    most of my guests are in serious relationships and the ones that are single have no problem being single.

    Serious relationships, out of towners who won't know anyone, and the few singles in my bridal party.

    Serious relationships only.  This lead to much drama before my wedding cause I had an aunt that wanted to bring her "friend", and then had to nerve to tell me if money was an issue then he could pay for himself.  I'm like WHAT you ain't even paying for yourself.  Folks are crazy!

    That's what I thought. I have one friend who got mad that I put her boyfriend's name on the invite...saying that she might want to bring someone else...uhhhh, I don't want no jump off or random at our wedding!!
