Who Gets a Plus One at Your Wedding?
This is a hotly debated issue – who should you give the plus one privilege to? Plus ones can really add up, especially if you are on a tight budget. Plus you don’t want to invite anyone who is going to ruin the vibe, but there may be some instances where giving a plus one will actually make it a…

Guests who are married or engaged should definitely get a plus one. But it wouldn’t be too much of a big deal if a guest just brought 1 extra guest
All grownups should receive a plus one.
My boyfriend's boss invited him to their wedding but not me. We've been together for 4 years, living together for 3 and he's only known his boss for 1 year. The couple that got married is wealthy (they own a business and buy nice cars for fun type of wealth) and I know them, it's not like we're strangers. I've been to their house several times, helped clean their property after a party. Gone to all the work events I could attend of theirs. They didn't go on a honeymoon either. So it's not like they were saving for that. I'm pretty hurt about it but not sure if I'm just overreacting.
He went and ended up staying at the hotel in another couples room on the couch when he originally planned on coming home. He didn't get home until 2pm the next day and barely texted me the entire time. Didn't call once the entire time he was gone. Almost 24 hours.
my coworkers and i weren’t given a plus one, looks lucky when the dancing starts i’ll be leaving.
"My wedding planner said I can't."
"But you don't have a wedding planner!"
"We all talked about it while you were in the bathroom."
My invite was addressed to me, and the rsvp card only had a M with a line…..no plus one box or other name written in. I know how I sound, but is there any chance they meant that line to write in my name and my partner of 10 years? I would never ask the bride or their parent or make a stink about it. Just seems like a massive snub I didn't see coming and wasn't sure.
Hi! I’m having an intimate wedding (40-50 people) and this is my biggest struggle. How do you word telling someone they can’t bring someone? Can you do a video on on an A list and B list for invites, also how would you send save the dates if you go this route? Thanks!
Would love to see the marriage finances video you mentioned a couple of months ago!
Your videos are sooooo great! I just have a quick question: how could I state I allow my guests to have a plus-one but only limited to “long-term relationship” (spouse, spouse-to-be, even sibling I think is reasonable). I just don’t want my guests to bring their “friend” or “ casual date”. Do I need to specify what kind of “plus-one” is expected?
This is a great video!
How do you respond to someone who expects an invite to the wedding or says “ I better be invited “ ? My fiancé and I are having a tough time responding since we have a small guest list. 😭
Thank you much, this helps. I'm sharing this to my fiance. We been struggling with this about a year now. Thank you again for help us figure this out together. You're the best.
I'm in a tough situation. It's personal but advice would be greatly appreciated from anyone. I'm not close to my dad and him and my step mom have been separated for 3 years. She went to visit family in another state and never came home…it was very weird. I'm close with my step mom but recently within the last month she stopped returning my calls/texts. They are still legally married and I have no clue when they will divorce because my dad is worried about loosing his house. My dad has a new girlfriend of 5 months and I've never met her/I don't want to. My dad offered to pay for catering so I feel that he expects he can bring his new gf. I don't want her there. What should I say to him to tell him she isn't invited ? Anyone else ever been in a situation like this? Advice?
This is great! My fiancé and I have been struggling with plus ones as we are trying to keep it around 100 guests
