1. Sister's +1

   

   Discussion by Christina Stranescu · December 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Moms and Maids

   My sister, who is my bridesmaid and walking me down the aisle with my other sister, has just recently broken up with her boyfriend. He was invited to the wedding, and is obviously off the guest list now, but my sister has asked me if she could bring a (male) friend instead as her +1, so that she can have someone to dance…

   It sounds like the ex is still coming to the wedding, am I correct? EDIT: nevermind, totally misread that "off the guestlist" as "on the guestlist". In that case OP, I think you should definitely let your sister bring her friend as her +1 in replacement of the ex's spot. My sister actually brought a friend as her +1 to our…

   Your sister just broke up with her boyfriend. Do you really think she's all that comfortable going to your wedding alone? I realize that everyone else on the guest list is friend & family (did you not allow others a +1?), but is this really a battle you want to have? Seriously rethink your head table idea. I realize it's…

   Members of the wedding party should be given the courtesy of a +1. She was already bringing her ex, so it's not going to change your head count.

   You had accounted for the ex, so why does it matter if she brings someone else? It's not like it's adding anyone. You should give both your sister's a +1.

   I think you're in the wrong here. Your sister is important to you, I'm assuming. She's just had a break-up. She would like to bring a friend. It doesn't change your numbers. She should have a +1. Wedding party members should be seated with their dates/SO's in my opinion.

   She should get a plus 1 if she is in the WP - it's not for you to judge. I remember breaking up with a BF after I had RSVP'd and taking a guy with whom I'd gone to college and barely knew. I happened to run into him the day of the wedding in a grocery store checkout line and asked him to go with me while the cashier was…

   Do not EVER seperate guest from their dates. That is horrible. I know you aren't having a head table but what you are doing is just as bad. Dates sit together NO MATTER WHAT. And yes, let your sister have a +1. Question: If she would have brought her boyfriend would you have made them sit at seperate tables for the…

   I don't think you're necessarily a bad hostess to not let her bring a +1. But really, it's one person and it would be tough to go to your sister's wedding just broken up and feeling very alone. Becuase she's your sister and you love her, can't you just give her this one? Especially since you'd already budgeted for a guest…

    Christina, you've had multiple posters tell you to not only allow your sisters +1, but that a head table, or whatever you feel like designating it, is a poor choice. What you do is up to you, but at least take into consideration that almost every post here is telling you to re-think this situation. Learn to appreciate good…
