SO My fiance and I are having a small dinner reception of only 50 people, and it is strictly 50 people. Would I be an asshole if I told my friends and his friends that they couldn't bring a date?? mind you, our friends are usually dating someone different everytime we see them or they are dating the same person, but we hardly ever see them and barely know them. With that said we prefer no dates to ensure we can invite more family and friends, without their "date" taking up our capacity. Its not like they will be coming to our wedding feeling awkward bc they all know eachother. When we send out invites we can send out a small explanation so there won't be hurt feelings? thoughts?
