NEED advice! PLEASE!

So my fiance and I have been trying to decide on the whole "and guest" thing. We know that we cannot let every person bring a guest. So we decided that obvisously if they are married, engaged, dating a LONG time, or if we are actually friends with the both of them. We also said that we will include our bridal party. Well, the sticky situation is..my fiance's best friend (the best man), and my best friend (the maid of honor) recently broke up. Now my maid of honor is dating someone new, that I have NEVER met. I don't want to make an akward situation for anyone so I was thinking about not having "and guest" included on her invite. :\ I know that she would bring her new bf if I did and purposely try to make her ex jealous. We already talked to the best man about him possibly not bringing a guest either and he was totally cool with it! He said he wouln't have anyway. I'm just torn because I do not want to make my best friend mad and think it's not fair to her. I mean, am I wrong for not wanting her new boyfriend at my wedding? I don't even know him and since he came into the picture me and her have been having some problems. HELP! How do I break it to her!?

    We did the same thing - no "and guests" unless they were in an at least sort of serious relationship.  I don't think you should feel awkward about that.  We did not want to meet people at our own wedding!
    As for your BFF, she should realize it is YOUR DAY, not hers, and her drama should not be a part of the day.  If the Best Man will be uncomfortable, then the situation should be a no-brainer...  NO to the new boyfriend!
    Furthermore, a MOH is a pretty big part of the big day, will she really have time to entertain her new BF/guest?  Probably not.  You get very few days in your life where you can expect to be the #1 focus of others - this is one of those days.  Ask that she make the day about you and your man and the friendship you share with her.  You can get together with her new BF at a later, more appropriate date.
    Good luck!
