Hey ladies! Today’s blog is about wedding guests and their plus ones. If you have the luxury of having a “money’s no option” kind of wedding than you probably can’t relate to this, but anyone who is saving their pennies in order to pay for their own wedding knows the stress of deciding who gets a plus one and who doesn’t. What’s the protocol? How do you not offend anyone? These are some questions I ask myself when I think about the guest list. Luckily for me I have a lot of friends who have been dating other friends of mine for quite some time. This makes things a little easier because you’re getting two friends out of one couple as opposed to if they were both single, now your paying for both of them to be there PLUS their dates. But what do you do about your single friends? You want everyone to have a great time at your wedding but does that all depend on if they have a date or not? A friend of mine recently sent out his wedding invitations, and a mutual friend of ours was not invited with a plus one. He has been dating his girlfriend for just about a year now. Personally, I feel that if your invitation does not say “And Guest” than it most likely is NOT a mistake, but he decided to call the groom and double check. To his surprise it was not a mistake. Now he is contemplating not even attending the wedding. Does this make any sense? I feel that if you’re going to be surrounded by all your friends than it shouldn’t make a difference if you have a date or not. I can understand that he may feel awkward attending a wedding without his girlfriend but is that a reason not to go? Weddings are so expensive that it ends up being nearly impossible to allow everyone to bring a date. So how do you choose? What do you girls think? Do you have an opinion on this topic?
