  I don't think its wrong, after all it's YOUR wedding and it's a FREE meal for them!
  I just sent out our invites where I knidly stated "1 seat is reserved for your party" for those that my FI and I clearly have no knowledge of a significant other in that persons life. We both felt why should we allow friends to bring someone we've never met or heard about when we have to make room for our large families, my mom and his dad come from a family of 12!

  I agree with the person below me! I would MUCH RATHER see people I know then people I don't! And if they guys are all friends with each other anyways, why do they need to bring another person?? Can't they hang out with them selves? Why add money and stress to your day? Pshh..he can deal with just being with his buddies

  I agree with both sides..... You can have a happy medium.  You know your guests.  If you're inviting someone that probably doesn't know anyone else, give them a Plus 1.  But this is not the case here.  We're talking about a buddy who knows everyone else and who just wants to "bring the party" with him.  I say right on!  No plus 1 for him.  He'll know plenty of people to be comfortable.
  
  This is the easy part for me....... It's the figuring out what to do about everyone's half dozen kids (who waste food!) that's my problem. But, that's for another thread! lol

  I agree with a lot of people above: unless someone has a significant other by the time the invitations went out, they didn't get a plus one ... unless we knew they wouldn't know anyone else at the wedding.  But we have very few friends that don't know any of our other friends, so that list is very small.  We also invited more than can fit in the rehearsal venue, and I just can't cut people who are important to me just to give someone a guest I don't know.  And we actually included the wedding party in the "no plus one unless you have a significant other" rule.  I've been to couple weddings where a groomsmen brought a plus one who didn't know anyone else, and she actually felt really awkward the whole time while he was involved in all the wedding activities.  She sat by herself half the time, not even knowing the bride and groom!
