   Do you have to give a plus 1 if someone is not dating anyone? I have so many single friends that it would prob. add 50 ppl I dont know to our guest list and almost another 4 thousand dollars for people I dont know.... Was thinking of just putting all of our friends at tables together .......

   This is a "controversial" topic.. Personally, I don't really have this situation, because nearly everybody we are inviting, except for 3 people, are either married, engaged or in a long term relationship. So for those remaining 3 people, we are just including "and guest", so they don't feel slighted. That being said, if we…

   You don't have to grant someone a plus one if they're not in a serious relationship. I would make an exception for your bridal party members, though, since they are spending a lot of time and money to be a part of your day. And I would also make an exception if you are inviting a single friend who will not know anyone at…

   i didn't give plus one's unless they had a long-term significant other or a fiance. i am also only inviting aunts, uncles, first cousins, grandparents, and a few friends (which equals to 95 in a room that holds only 100!), so everyone is pretty close and knows each other well. As long as people know a few other people…

   I've always heard "living together," not "serious relationship," as the litmus test. Which is ridiculous - why is a couple who moved in together after knowing each other for a week more legitimate than a couple together for years that's living apart because their jobs are too far apart to make living together practical? We…

   Just wanted to add, I really think it depends on each individual family and what they are "used to", or what works for each situation. If you have 25 first cousins that are all single (as in not married) and over 18, it might not work financially to give every one of them a guest. But it gets tricky because you don't want…

   We gave plus-ones to everyone over age 22 (unless they are engaged, like one of my cousins); that way we don't have to pay for our college-age cousins bringing their flavor of the month, but our older friends who may not know anyone have the opportunity to bring a date. Many of our guests are from out of state, so that…

    I voted no, however it is proper to invite adults with a guest. I was invited to my cousins wedding a few years ago when I was dating my fiance for 3 years, and he wasn't invited. I was so angry at this, mainly because my other cousins were invited with guests. I didn't make a big deal over it because I saw it as that was…
