I honestly think that alot of people who aren't married or never really been involved with weddings don't realize. I think they just assume they can bring a guest and dont think about minimums and maximum capacity of rooms, they dont think of cost or anything like that. I also think that most people who get invites just open them right up to look at just the date, time, place and thats it. They dont sit there and think 'oh wait it was only addressed to me so I guess i cant bring a date' I know we hate hearing this when knowing how much thought we put into invites, but for others when they get it, they really dont put as much thought into it or really look at it, they look at it for the info they need and thats it
I hate to say it but YEARS ago when i would get an invite, i didnt pay attention to whether it was addressed JUST to me and I probably thought everybody was allowed to bring a guest. Not that they are being rude but they honestly are just making a simple mistake and only bc they just don't really know. I mean how much did all of us know about all wedding things before we were engaged. Now we know and see what other brides go through so we understand.
I would just explain it to her nicely. Say sorry since we are limited on space, we cant invite everybody with a guest and single people are not getting and guest as an option.

DO you think she got the point? I would just hope she does, bc when its a co-workers wedding you might not feel as comfortable going alone as when its a friend and you know others there. But if she is cool with the guy at your office then hopefully that will make her more comfortable.

tell that guy to ask her to carpool there together. If she knows everybody then she should be fine going alone.

I would just let her know straight out. I say get the awkwardness out of the way now rather than the day of your wedding, ya know?
people are so crazy. I didnt even bother to invite work people to many people!
I worry about that...it might be rude of me but I think I will be writing the total number of people on each rsvp return that will be attending. So if I write down 1, 2 or 3 will be attending. I don't care who you bring but you are only allowed to come with the amount I wrote down. Its for them to decide who they want to bring. If you leave it blank they thinks its a free for all. The good thing is that at least she asked instead of just bringing the date.
