Plus 1's

How are people handling the ever sensitive Plus 1 issue? I have a lot of cousins between 18-25 that all live at home. My fiance and I had planned to invite the families and not give the kids a Plus 1. We are paying for the wedding ourselves and trying hard to keep the guest list under 150 (which we are at already) 

This is causing an issue with my family who believes that certain cousins should be allowed to bring their significant others. I feel that it is better to take a firm stance so you are not picking and choosing based on an analysis of the relationship (e.g.: how long have they been together, how serious are they, etc.)

Thoughts?

I am having the same dilemma.  I have cousins who are notoriously rude when it comes to weddings.  They reply w/ +1 and don't show or don't show w/ the +1!  My wedding is getting bigger by the minute with all sorts of people inviting themselves and trying to guilty my fiance and me into including them.  I'm almost angry at the nerve of some people...they don't bother with you until there's a nice, FREE meal involved? 

My thinking was not to include +1's for anyone not in a serious relationship, living together or engaged.  I will invite my cousins but no +1s for this group of sisters...I just don't want to get stuck w/ $250 of wasted money. 

Am I wrong?
