Plus One's

I know there are a billion posts about this here, and with the exception of one person, this is not an issue for us. Both parties in a serious relationship will be invited by name.

One of our groomsmen is currently deployed overseas. He will be home approx 3 weeks before our wedding. 1 month before he deployed he started dating a girl and they dated for about 7-8 months. FI and I didn't particularly care for her, but planned to invite her as groomsman's date. Well anyway, they recently broke up, and he has now started "dating" some girl from the internet (while still halfway around the world)...This is someone who FI and I most likely wouldn't meet until the wedding (if they are still dating at that time) and neither of us know her name. I am sending invites out in 2 weeks...do I address the invite to him only or put "and guest"?

We can't afford to allow every currently single person who may or may not be casually dating at the time of the wedding to bring a date...but for a member of the WP, FI and I would make an exception, but I don't know how to word the invite.

Thanks for any tips!

  • I would ask him what her name is for the invitation.  If he says they're dating, then they're dating, even if there is a keyboard involved.

    Ask him for her name. Address the invitation to them both and send it to his address. If they break up before the wedding, he won't bring her.

    I'm with Mrs.B on this. If you can find out her name, that would be ideal.

    i would ask the bm how he wants it, he may just want and guest (wp members should get a guest) that is what my cousin wanted for a new relationship so that she could bring a friend if it didnt work out.
