  Are you sure she doesn't have a significant other? You might need to clarify.

  also, is 1 person a battle worth being picked? only you can decide

  I would leave it honestly, but if you can't fathom that, then I'd call her and ask her who it is. If it's her boyfriend I'd just ask him name so that I can add it to the escort card since he should've been invited by name. If it's someone else, I'd apologize and say we can't accommodate guests, we just invited close friends and family with our budget
  

  
  
  You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

  I would call her up and let her know that the invitation was only for her and not a guest.  But I would also make sure that she is not in a relationship.  If she is in a relationship then you should allow her SO to come.  If she is not in a relationship and just wishes to bring a guest you are well within your right to tell her nicely that you cannot accommodate her guest.

  My FI and I are coming onto the end of our RSVPs, and last night one of my friends from high school messaged me saying "I will definitely be coming with a guest! SO excited" which would be great if we had invited her with a guest. We clearly marked the invitation with just her name on it, but I guess she didn't understand. I'm not sure how to go about this, everything was budgeted out for a certain amount of people and I don't know even know who she's planning on taking. Should I just leave it be or politely mention something to her?
  
  

  If she truly has an SO, the SO needs to be invited. If not, she can fly solo.

  
  

  I would call her. I would say, "Sally, I'm so happy that you are coming! I didn't realize you had an SO. What's his name?" If she says, "that's ok my boyfriend's name is Tom Jones" then you can say "wonderful, again - sorry I didn't realize you were seeing someone." But if she says, "Oh, I'm not seeing anyone but you're not inviting anyone else from high school so I wanted to bring a friend" then you can say, "gosh, I'm sorry Sally, we cannot accommodate extra guests. I hope you can still make it."

  Ditto pp, especially @maggie0829 and @southernbelle0915

  
  

  If she's in a relationship, you should invite her significant other, so you should call her up to get his/her name. If she's not in a relationship, apologize for the misunderstanding and let her know that because of your budget and venue size, you and your fiance aren't able to extend +1s to guests.
