it is a family member that I don't want to give a +1 to. I really dislike my aunts friend (they live together) and I don't want her at my weddingIs this like a partner or just a roommate? Because if it's just a roommate and she's not in a relationship with anyone, then I think it's safe to not put "and guest"... although I guess "more" ok if you're doing that for everyone not in a relationship. Your aunt will know lots of other people at the wedding, too, so it's not like she'll be all alone. On the other hand, it's sometimes easier to just invite them and ignore them the whole time. Less drama, tension, and hurt feelings. Of course, totally your decision and you should do what feels right to you

We have over 100 guests.. and we didn't put 'and guest' on any invites... at all.
BUT.. my family and FH's family are VERY close.. so we know all the realtionships and... the 120-ish people invited are basically immediate.. we only invited people who are VERY close to us.. and we're hoping for a lot of people to not send back RSVP's! lol!!

| For us it was that they had to be in a serious relationship - our wedding wasn't the place for a date. We had one person tell MIL that she wasn't impressed that hers didn't say guest, but she is single and I don't care

You have to be prepared to defend this decision, especially if your other guests are able to bring "a guest". Like someone else said, set rules that are equally applied to everyone on your list.

| We are not putting "and guest" on the invite. Those that are in serious relationships, we named both partners on the invite. Those that aren't are getting an invite in their name only. However, we have left enoguh room on the guestlist that if one of our single people calls or write and ASKS to bring a guest, we will be able to say yes. That way we are not encouraging it, but we are also not really turning down the request either. I don't think there is anything wrong in not putting "and guest" to a single person. Especially if they have other friends or family coming that they will know and be able to hang out with all night.

| We put "and guest" on our invites. Personally I wouldn't want to go to a wedding alone. You don't get to spend much time with the bride and groom on their day so we didn't think it was fair to ask that person to be alone for the full day. Although we didn't really know the guests, we did it so that "our" guests could have a good time and not be by themselves that day.

I have had some great ones for our wedding. FH's cousin was the only name on the invite and he put down both him and his girlfriend of 3 years were coming. One couple the husband was working so she decided she's bringing her daughter instead.
Our BM is a little put out that his GF wasn't invited but she doesn't want to commit to him and in my mind that's not serious.
