Fly solo or bring a date?

My boy and I have a very close group of friends, but several of them aren't seeing anyone. I know most of them would just come to the wedding my themselves, but what is expected or what is proper etiquette?

When you send out invites do you send it to the friend and a date or just to the friend?

    I think you send just to the friend but ask on the RSVP's if they will have a plus one.

    The proper thing to do is to address it on the envelopes as "Mr. Tom Jones & Guest"

    That way you are giving them the option of bringing a guest if they would like and it also eliminates unnecessary phone calls or texts as to whether they are actually brining a guest or not.

    I think etiquette says to invite with guest, but if budget is a concern, you could have a "no ring, no bring" rule or only invite those with guests who are in a serious relationship.

    For us, we'll probably do a case by case basis.  A lot of fiance's friends are married, in fact I think all but one are married or have a serious girlfriend.  So that one guy, we'll probably invite him with a guest so he doesn't feel like the 17th wheel.

    However, a lot of my friends are single, they all know eachother, etc. so we may not invite them with guests.

    We had a small wedding with just family and close friends, so it was easy for us to tell our friends that we were only inviting significant others we knew.  If either budget is no issue, or you are having a large wedding where people are traveling and then may get there and know no one but you and the groom (or bride! :) ), then I think it's a nice gesture to invite +1 across the board.
