  Will all of their friends be there with SOs, or are a lot of them single?  If there are a bunch of singles, then I think it's fine to not give her a +1, but if everyone else is going to be coupled up, she should have the opportunity to invite a guest.

  Good question- It's about half and half. There are a few that are single and other have SOs . The specific guests I am thinking about are all part of a women's sports group and the SO's that will be coming are all friends too cause they are a regular fixtures at our social & sports events. Kind of a big happy family.

  Generally, if they're not in a committed relationship, it's accepted to invite them without a +1... unless they'll either A) be the only person they know at the wedding or they're in a social circle or family group that will all be bringing +1s to the wedding.
  
  So, in this case, I think you'd be okay if you didn't expressly extend a +1 invitation, but if it's just one person... I would honestly just leave the choice up to her. Plenty of people will come alone to a wedding, even if you give them the option.

  I don't think it's rude not to include the +1 but I would say most people would prefer the option. I gave all my guests +1s whether I knew they were in a relationship or not. Most of them RSVP'd back with just themselves as I anticipated but I'm still glad I gave them the option.
