Plus one for guest

in June 2012 Weddings
I invited an old friend that I havn't seen in years. But she isn't sure if she can make it unless she has a ride, from her new boyfriend who she wants to bring. We didn't put plus ones for guests, however we did make a few excpetions, if we knew who they were bringing. I don't know this guy and I really don't care for him to be there. Neither does my fiance. I already told her we aren't adding plus ones.

    Yep, stick with that.  If she can't make it without a ride, then she can't make it.

    So I'm not really sure what you are asking here.

    But I think you need to ask yourself how important is she to be at your wedding. We were pretty flexible with plus ones. However, one of my dear friends that lives over an hour and half away recently injured herself and can not drive. She called and said she could line up a friend to drive her but wanted to know if he could come to the wedding. I said yes because it is more important for her to be there then sticking to some plus one rule.

    Is this a question? Because it feels like you already made a decision.

    Significant others are not plus ones. It's not your place to judge their relationship. Invite him.

    <div>But it's her boyfriend.  That's not a random plus one.  If she just wanted to bring a date then I would say stick to your guns; but she wants her boyfriend included, and he should have been included anyways.</div>

    I was flexible with plus ones because the majority of our friends and family are married so we would know both guest. However, with my younger sisters and cousins (18-23 yrs old) I didn't give them an option to bring plus ones.

    You have to invite him. He is her boyfriend. I have a question though, who did you make exceptions for? What about the people who are in relationships but you didn't know who they were? They didn't get an invite.

    Oops!  I misinterpreted the OP, I thought the plus one was her ride?!  Not really sure what I was thinking to be honest.  Well the SO is just understood to be included in the 'count'.  But it looks as if you're not alotting room for any of your guests to bring a +1?

    If the ride is her BF, you need to include him.  Don't split up SOs.

    I did the same thing. If her ride is her BF you need to invite him.

    How would you feel about going to a wedding without your SO? I know I'd be ticked off and probably not go if the invite was not extended to him.

    When I was making the guest list, I knew she just got out of a relationship. Being that our guest list was stacked, I didn't have enough room for her to bring a plus one. But it turns out I do know her BF.
    Plus, with some guests declining, we had room for more people. So he is invited!
