  I went a read the thread you are referring to....interesting. I personally agree with the thought this idea is outdated. A few years back, I was invited to a wedding and offered a plus one. So was my good girlfriend. We both were in relationships for 6 or so months. I was told I could not bring my boyfriend at the time became we met online. When the invite came out, I declined and did not go. To this day, I remember that slight. It hurt in a few different ways. It hurt him. So this weekend I was reminded my stepbrother has been with his girl for about a year. They are 19yo college students and who knows if it will last. But she has been at graduations, family dinners... IMO I think it would be disrespectful not to invite her, despite little wiggle room on my side of the guest list. All SOs are invited personally. I want to make my guests comfortable and feel respected. There are considerations, as they have listing, such as the guest being involved in recent drugs or crime...

  I do agree with you...i guess my only qualms were those of inviting someone I do not get along with to my special day...or my best male friend who has a new girl almost every month due to commitment issues...idk my guest list is like 90 ppl and that's me crunching it and I'm finding it hard to extend some plus ones, that may ultimately take away from inviting ppl i really want there....and not due to the fact that it's etiquette i just HAVE to follow...

  I lurk the e board everyday. I'm so glad it's not like that here. Anywho it seems like the brides that want to cut so's have a problem with a certain SO. I'm only inviting SO's if I know about the relationship. I'm sure some of my family will have issues with my guest list but oh well. How am I supposed to know you are dating someone if I only talk to you when someone dies. That being said I have an extra large family my mom is 1 of 18. So there are bound to be SO's I don't know about, but I'm not expanding my guest list beyond what I already have. It's bad enough it's like 140/40
