Plus 1 advice

Personally I think:

a) if you've already given them plus one invitations for the whole day then it's not very good manners to try and withdraw them, unless you have a serious issue with the people they want to bring, and

b) will you notice them there at the ceremony? Presumably they'll be sitting with the rest of your friends/family, and you'll (hopefully!) be focusing on getting married and having photos taken. I wouldn't worry to much about two people unless you're only having a very small number there at the ceremony as it is.

It depends a bit on what you've set as your plus one rule for all your other guests - if you've said anyone can bring a plus one if they want, it would be a bit harsh not to allow the bridesmaids to bring plus ones. However, if you've only allowed certain people to bring plus ones because you know their boyfriend/girlfriend well, then I don't think it's unreasonable to apply the same rule to your bridesmaids.

Yep, they know all of my other girl friends as we all go out together.

Well we had said they can bring partners as we were allowing people to bring them. I didnt really know their boyfriends well but thought it was right to invite them as they are a couple but didnt think it would be right to have two people we dont know there as we are quite tight on numbers anyway and could only just justify their partners coming. I see what you meanabout allowing a plus 1 and then not though.

This is why the term "plus 1" is not being used at our wedding, because the line is hard to draw! I think it is lovely to invite a partner of your friends, but for them to just want to bring someone random is a bit odd. That being said, if you did say "plus 1" then that makes it hard to withdraw.

I disagree with Katy - presumably the boyfriends weren't invited as "plus 1s", they were invited by name, as the boyfriend of a good friend (whether or not they were also your friend).

I'd say only to the evening.

Yes they were invited by name as they are close friends partners. I wouldnt have given them a plus 1 to bring anyone.

Well, I think you have your answer. Offer them a place at the evening reception.

I think you are right, I do! Thanks.
