Inviting partners of guests to evening only

We are planning our wedding and have chosen a venue that can accommodate all of our friends but not all of their partners also for the meal. We can have some partners of friends but not all of them. So my first question is, how do we choose which friend's partners to invite? We've gone for the partners that we know best and then it gets down to this horrible thing of looking at who invited both of us to their wedding meal and who invited one of us to the meal and the other to evening only. I'd like to invite all plus ones but the venue can only fit in so many people. We are planning to invite the partners that we cannot invite to join the party after the meal for drinks and dancing. Is this rude?

I don't think this is rude, I'm sure if you explain the situation. If people need to travel long distances, you might need to be prepared that one or both of them may not be able to attend. X

Its pretty normal these days. With regards to how to narrow it down, we decided if theyre travelling far them both can come, and if we are actually friends with both they they both can come, but if its a case of we only have met them a few times or we wouldnt consider them close friends then theyre evening only.

What you're suggesting seems reasonable and fair. You'll never please everyone!

Ah the dreaded guest list. You seem to have put good thought and care into the list already. I would definitely just put a little note into explain the situation. It is quiet common these days with restrictions on venues. A good point has been raised though about guests potentially having to travel as that will affect whether they attend or not
