   I have always wondered about the +1's also. I think I would just get the moms to do the dirty work. Ask yours or his mom to talk to the teenagers mom about not being able to bring a date. I will be recruiting my mom to do a lot of my dirty work when we get to that point. But I also know a couple of my cousins always have…

   Its very hard, if not impossible to get some people to understand guest list limits. I guess they think the budget is unlimited and the tooth fairy is dropping the money to pay for it under my pillow! I have the same problem with FI's family, so I feel your pain. His oldest sister goes in and out of relationships so fast…

   Ahhhhh! I am really starting to get upset! Why is it that people think they can just keep adding people to my guest list when they were NOT invited? I have had 4 people add guests that were not planned on. My younger cousins who live at home still all are bringing a date! WTH? When I lived at home with my family and our…

   Uhh, yeah, just tell them no. We are having a small wedding, 50 people max, so no one is allowed to bring a date unless we specifically invite them. If we were allowing everyone to bring a date, we would only invite 25 people, that doesn't even cover our imidiate families. Since the wedding is small, everyone pretty much…

   UGH! SO RUDE! Sorry to hijack for a minute, but people are SO rude when it comes to weddings.. I shake my head at them. Today I went to the dentist where my mom used to work, and the first thing my dentist said to me was: "what's the date and am I invited?" Literally just jumped in like that. I said no, we're only having…

   how can people be that rude? but hey, that happens. we told FI's 16 year old brother that he could bring A date (or A friend) cos we didn't want him to be over-bored with a bunch of adults and we met some of those kids several times. he ended up telling us that he was bringing "SOME" friends. FI blocked him right there and…

   I would defintely address it with them. They are in HS and invited with their family, so there's no reason to need to bring a date. Our rule is if you're out of college (or 22+) then you get to bring a date. So, I agree with you. Not unreasonable at all to be shocked that they RSVP'd for 6!

    Before planning a wedding, I didn't realize this was such a big taboo either. Looking back, I think most of the invites I received said "and guest" but there were a few that didn't. I remember thinking that it felt like I was being excluded because I wasn't married or engaged. And I was the only one of my friends who…
