Plus ones
I really want to have the smallest wedding possible but it is very difficult because we both have large families. My question is can I limit plus ones to those that are married or in the bridal party? I just don't want a ton of people I dont know to be there. I dont want to look back at my wedding pictures and say Whose that?!? Also how would I word such?
Thanks In Advance Ladies!

Re: Plus ones
Totally single guests can be invited solo, but if they won't know anyone else there, it's nice to extend a plus-one to them. But anyone in a relationship of some sort should definitely get to bring their SO. Think about how you'd feel if you got invited to a wedding without your FI simply because you weren't married.
[QUOTE]Heres a follow up question to my original: My finacee and I have a good friend (groomsman) who girlfriend recently got drunk and called and screamed at me...this is not the first time the GF has been a real b word. I want him to be apart of our big day but I do not want her anywhere near me. What to do? At this point I think I waant to talk to him first (I dont think the situation will come as a surprise to him) and let him decide if he would still like to be apart of it...

If you are inviting him to the wedding, you need to invite her as well. I highly doubt she'll make a scene at your wedding. Perhaps she's embarassed and either won't come or will behave herself. But you need to invite everyone's significant others.

<div>If she's an actual girlfriend, you have to invite her. The only people who you can exclude are random dates.</div><div>
</div><div>If the GM doesn't already know about the behavior, bring it up to him in terms of worried about his girlfriend and her drinking, not in relation to your wedding. </div>

<div>She hasn't beaten you up, tried to sleep with your fiance, you don't have a restraining order out on her, etc.</div><div>

</div><div>My step-grandmother can be a "real b word" sometimes too, but I'm inviting her. </div>
Is she normally like that or was it a one time thing? My answer depends on whether her screaming was a unique occurence or if it's a pattern of behavior.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Plus ones : Sorry, it's his girlfriend. She gets an invitation. Well, her name and his name on an invitation. They are a social unit, do not split them up.

I disagree. If you make it a pattern to constantly insult the hostess, you don't just get an invite because you're dating another guest.
