inviting singles

Is it ok to invite single people to my wedding or should each single person be given a plus one?

Re: inviting singles

  • I'm giving a plus one to people who won't know anyone else there (and thus would want some company) and to people who are in long term committed relationships or whose significant other I know.  I know that sounds very arbitrary, but the fact is-do you really want a bunch of people you don't know at your wedding?  It's probably going to happen anyway (I don't know most of the guests from my fiance's side and some of my guest's significant others), so I don't want any more people I don't know at my wedding than is necessary.  That might sound harsh, but, I've thought about it for so long that there was just no clear way to cut it.  So...do what you want, be as fair as you can, and your good friends will understand!

  • Those that are truly single do not need to be given a +1.

    If they are in a realationship (no matter the length of their relationship), they must be invited with their SO.

  • It depends on your budget.  It is a nice gesture to add a +1 for single people, but it is not required.  Just make sure that they are truly single.  If they are in a relationship, you should invite their significant other.
