I Don't Know What To Say or Do

I never get why people just assume they can bring "a date" to a special occasion like a wedding. She's being rude. Stick to your plan. In 50 years you will be the ones reminiscing about your wedding, not her.

hahaha! No one understands the + 1 until they actually plan their own wedding.

I to would tell her no! Thats just rude.We to have our wedding in Aug and we havent added any +1. We want everyone at our wedding to be people we know well and have know for a long time and that in 5 years time can look back and know were all still in touch. No passa byers for us.I think its rude to just assume you can bring a +1.

I think I'll stick to my guns, but I think DP will cave and let her bring someone so as to keep the peace.... he's too nice for his own good sometimes!
Friends are getting married in October and their rule is unless you've been with someone for more than 6months, they don't get an invite. Some say it's harsh, but when you consider the cost of feeding someone for one night that might not be around 2weeks later, but is forever in photographs etc of YOUR day it just isn't worth it.
I think it's just made harder by it being family and there are certain members who will hold a grudge over little stuff like this!

Hell no. This is YOUR wedding, so invite whomever you'd like to share the day. I agree with the 6 months or more thing. You don't want some ring-in sharing one of the most intimate days of your life.

We couldn't have fitted people in if they'd brought +1 - it was a expensive squeeze with the guests we could fit. Though we did have someone we fitted in at the last minute (ie, the day before), but that was our choice, not pressure from someone else.

DF and I are currently planning our wedding and i have been wondering about the whole +1 thing. most of our friends are in a relationship and have been for a while, but the ones that are single i was thinking of leting them bring a friend if they didnt really know anyone else.

sorry to highjack your post. i say stick to your guns, if you don't know or get along with her current bf or best friend then dont give them an invite.
