Guest inviting

Hi!

we have starting making our "guest list" or many of them since I know we will be cutting. We decieded to only invite immediate blood line family not extended family ( can't invite 2nd, rd and 4 th cousins..etc ) which we are set with, but when it comes to friends, we have a lot of friends, some married, some in long term relationships and some single.

For the single guest do we have to put Mr. John Smith + 1? Some of my friends who got married  said that if your friends are not in serious relationships or married that you don't have to put + 1. We are on a budget and I can not afford to have all my single guest bring + 1
I forgot to ask another questions: inviting parents of close friends?  I wanted to invite my best friends dad to the wedding because he has seen me grow up and heres the questions I have a close friend I've known for many many years, when she got married she didn't invite my mom to her wedding, do I have to invite her parents and brother to mine?

What r  your thoughts?

    Truly single guests do not need a plus one, but everyone who is dating somebody needs to be invited with their SO.

    If they are truly single, you do not have to let them bring a date.

    If they are in a relationship, regardless of how serious or how long, they need to be invited with their significant other.  Since your wedding is more than 6 months away, you'll probably want to build in a cushion, as some of your guests who are single right now might be in relationships when your invitations go out.

    For truly single, you don't need a guest.  If they are in a relationship (however they define it), you'll need to add the s/o.  Like PP said, since you are 6 months out, it's good planning to keep some cushion in there.  It's unlikely that every single person you know will get in a relationship in 6 months, but it's possible that some of them will.

    For friends, you do not need to invite their parents or siblings.  If you are independently close to the friends' family member, evaluate your relationship with that person in comparison to some of the other friends that you expect to cut.

    For the parents of friends, you should gauge how close you are to them.  I invited my BFF's parents to my wedding because I have been like a 2nd daughter to them.  I didn't invite the parents of my other BP members since I have only met them a few times.
