Wedding guest trying to invite other people

kellieabendschoen

I recently sent a save the date to one of my friends, only addressed to her. During a conversation with her a few weeks later she made a comment about trying to decide who she was going to bring as her date. She is not in a serious relationship and so because of our budget restrictions we were only going to invite her without a date.
She will know other people at the wedding, so How can I go about making sure she realizes she invited without a plus one??
Thanks for any advice!

How bout just telling her 'I'm sorry, but only people who are in relationships or dating were given plus 1's."  and leave it at that.

As long as you're sure she's not in any kind of relationship (you don't get to be the judge of how 'serious' her relationships are) I would politely tell her that unfortunately due to budget/capacity/etc the invitation was for her only.

If she tells you that she is in fact in a relationship then etiquette states they much be invited as well; you can't split up a social unit.

If you only sent out STD's those generally go out 6-9 months before the wedding so you have time to send out invites. IF I was you, I wouldn't say anything to her about how the invite will be just for her. Once you get closer to sending out invites, if she is still single and you know for sure that she doesn't have a SO, than address the invite to her and if she RSVPs for 2, than say something. You are still 9 months out, if your wedding date of May 2013 is correct and alot can happen, she could start dating someone and get engaged by March. As PP have said, you shouldn't split up a social unit and only invite her and not her SO but if she is truly single, than just invite her.

Thanks! She's DEFinitely single and from my conversations with her as of late ( and without going into detail) she does not want to be in a relationship, not to say tht wont change between now and then. At the time of her comment she mentioned bringing a girlfriend of hers who I don't know.

Things could change.  Maybe some people that you invited can't go.  Maybe she will have a boyfriend.   I would let it go for now and then see what happens.

when she says something just tell her.  i told my friends that they weren't getting plus-ones unless they were seeing someone.  your friend's are adults, and they can deal.

i've had like one friend whine that they're not getting a date, and that's because his ex-gf is also being invited to my wedding.  i gave him an "mm hmm".
