Bridesmaid's plus 1

When I had sent out my invites, a bridesmaid of mine was engaged.  Since then they have called it off.  But her ex and her are so on and off again that I don't know if I should expect him to come.  I know she is allowed a plus 1. But I fear that when the wedding comes around they will not be together and I had invited his children.  So that would be 3 meals that I would be paying for that wouldn't be used.  The other issue is that since he broke off their engagement twice this year, I don't particularly like him and really would not want to see him on my day. (She knows I feel like she should just move on).  What should I do about him coming?

  • Because he and the children received an invitation, there really isn't anything you can do. If they break up after your final head count is sent then there is a chance you'd be stuck with those meals, although hopefully your venue would be flexible with at least the children's meals. Uninviting him isn't an option, but I assure you that you'll barely notice him on your wedding day. 
  • They have all been invited. Uninviting them would hurt your relationship with your BM, no doubt. Just wait to see what the RSVP says and have seats and meals for them all. Like Ojitos said, you'll barely notice them.
