So ladies I got that first dreaded response card where the guest so kindly adds there dates name. I am unsure exactly wut to say because originally when I set my list there were not engaged or even that serious. I am already over my number of people as it is.. this person is getting married soon also but I only addressed the invite to her...and I have a feeling her mom might try to add her boyfriend as well...I dnt know what to do...wait and see my final count, allow him to come, or tell her he can't...advice plz ladies

Thats all you can do and handle the mom the same way if she decides to write in a plus one as well.
[QUOTE]What I would do is - speak to the guest and let them know that you have a specific number of guests that can attend the wedding. If you're ok with her bringing the guest - I would let her know that you are waiting to hear back from some people and if you have enough "declined" RSVP's then you will let her know that she can bring her boyfriend. If you're not ok with her bringing her guest, then call her and apologize for any confusion. Let her know that with the wedding budget in mind, you can not afford her to bring a plus one.

</div><div>THIS. I ended up having TONS more declines than we expected. So some of our friends were told that if they didn't mind waiting, we'd love to have their +1, we just had limited space. Everyone was totally understanding. :)</div>

However... If you believe that you're going to have the space, I might just let THIS one slide. They're engaged... I'm engaged, we're all engaged, and understand about budgets and all that good stuff, but I'd be a little offended if FI was invited to a wedding and I wasn't, or vice versa. While it's annoying for anyone to assume they have a +1, it's kinda understandable when it's an engaged couple.
If her mother tries to add a boyfriend, you can stop that by saying you only accounted for couples who are married or engaged.
