People in a relationship should be invited with their significant others. If they aren't in a relationship, then just let them know through a phone call, that "We're unable to accommodate any extra people, but we can't wait to see you at our wedding!"

[QUOTE]HELP!!  Let me start by saying that when my fiance and I put together our guest list, we did invite a plus one for people who didn't really know anyone else.  We invited single guests when all of his coworkers are invited and when my cousins are all coming together.  We have received about 50 rsvp's back out of 100 and 5 of them have decided to add an extra person onto the RSVP.  Our envelopes were VERY clear as far as who was invited. <strong>Two of my cousins have decided to invite the person they are dating,</strong> one of his cousins added a plus one (yet no name was given) his Aunt (who is throwing me a bridal shower in two weeks) added<strong> her sons gf of only about a year that we've met once</strong> and today, the final straw, <strong>my friend who knows plenty of other people coming, added a plus one (again, no name given.)  I am assuming this is her bf, who she's been with for a while but whom I've NEVER met!  </strong>HELP!  With food and bar, the guests are going to be about $100/person.  We just can't afford it! How do I handle this?!  (final note, I am not inviting a single person from either of my jobs as of right now because we are pushed to the brim with people.)  Wedding Sept 1, 2012

</div><div>YOU are in the wrong here. All of these bolded points are occasions where the "plus one" is a boyfriend or girlfried (aka significant other) and therefore should have been invited. You do not split up a social unit. It is very rude of you to invite someone without their significant other - no matter how long they've been together or how many times you've met them. It is not up to you to decide how serious the relaitonship is. I've known couples to meet and get married within one year.</div><div>

It doesn't matter how long they have been dating/in a relationship, or if you have never met them.  If they consider the person their bf/gf they should be invited with.  They are not a plus one.

And apparently you are 12. You are not mature enough to be getting married, clearly.

Also, your original post was quoted so you look even more like a child by deleting it when you didn't get the responses that you wanted.

LOL! I am so glad I quoted.

ugh.

Troll quality has dropped drastically... This has got to be the worst yet, by a long shot.

Really, Murphy?  You're going to throw out the r word? As part of a temper tantrum?  That's beyond low.

That was fast. Did she seriously just call y'all retarded? Wowza.

I am very confused. How is any of the posters retarded? They didn't even say anything that was offensive. My FI and I have been together a little over a year and if either of us got an invite to a wedding we wouldn't feel comfortable going with out eachother, no matter how many people we know there.

She's had relatively sane posts up to this point, that I've seen at least.

I remember one where she was talking about working in a hotel and their policies for wedding blocks, so yeah, I too think she's real.

Although I didn't know they allowed 11 year olds to work at hotels ...

Jeeez Louise, lady. Get your head out of your butt. The 21st century does not look kindly on the R word. You just lost any amount of respect on these boards you might have had.

This is for real??? Oh geez... I didn't recall the name so wouldn't know about other posts... Maybe she was just having a bad day...? Eagles... Is it? Awesome. I've only been using the mobile site for weeks now, so I can't see anyone's sig at all. Or their little pic on the side. All I get is a white screen with a list of posts :[ Is there a way to get rid of it, do you know?

I'm stuck on the mobile site, too. It's awful. there's a link to the full site, but it'll keep pulling you back to the mobile site.
