1. All the + 1's

   

   Discussion by KMJ2010 · July 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Nevada-Las Vegas

   How do you handle all the + 1's? I was very specific when addressing the invitations. The chapel will hold up to 60 people and I know we won't go over that. I worry about the reception b/c it is $65 pp and we are 2-3k over budget as is. I guess deep down I would love for my friends to go and would love to have all their…

   I have to agree with some of the post. We are trying to make it work with the budget. Just waiting on the RSVPs to roll in. I guess I should of said a lot of the guest are old college friends and some of the couples are getting rooms together with or without their +1's. All guest with or without the +1's are friends with…

   I really had a hard time deciding on the +1's. In the end, I'm allowing our single guests to have a +1. I've been invited to OOT weddings accross the country that didn't allow me the luxury of a +1 so I didn't attend.

   I probably wouldn't want to travel alone unless I knew a lot of people who were attending the wedding. We invited all singles with a plus one.

   I'd handle it by phone, call and tell them the reception space was carefully planned and you only have the room for people who's name appeared on the invites; I think most people will understand planning a destination wedding and reception can be quite expensive and you can't accommadate girlfriends and boyfriends you…

   Have to agree with everyone else. I invited all singles with a +1. I have even told some of them that if they were coming and don't have a SO, to bring a girlfriend/brother, sister, etc. I would hate to be invited to a destination wedding alone, I would not go. I know how it feels to be single, which can suck enough, but…

   Ok I honestly didn't plan a +1 for EACH single or unmarried person. I just looked at it logically. I have friends who are single, but were going to stay in rooms with one another and didn't want to bring a guest, so I didn't plan a guest, and they didn't need one. Other guests I thought may bring a guest, I just included…

   Phew...this is a tough one... Our guest list is super short.... I have one single friend coming and I told her to bring someone. Best man is single but not bringing anyone... then its just my mom who is single so I said bring a friend or whoever...and his father is single so he will bring a friend or a date... but *shrug*…

   I kind of disagree with a few posters above. I've been to a Vegas wedding where my longtime SO was invited but I wasn't due to space constraints and I had no problems with it. I went along for the trip and didn't mind that I wasn't invited to the wedding functions because I understood that I did not know the couple and…

    I personally tried to be relax about the whole +1 thing bc when I was single I wouldn't want to travel alone. I think if ppl have to travel to your wedding, then you need to be a little more accomodating. How close to 60 ppl are you? I would wait it out and pick your battles carefully. In the end there were one or two…
