originally my FH and I wanted to give everyone a guest... now that we have made a tentative invite list, we are seeing that we have a lot of people. Almost to the point where we have to cut... and I dont wanna do that. But... now we don't have everyone getting a guest .. a few people do but they are either family or don't really know anyone else invited... is this wrong? should I give guests? do you think our close friends would just ask if they wanted to bring someone? what is proper?????

Re: and guest?
If you are worried about the size don't put & guest.
It sounds like you have the right idea with putting '& guest' for only a few but not everyone. I think a close friend will probably ask you or your mom if a guest might be ok.
Good luck!

Re: and guest?
Everyone who has been dating (and we KNOW has been dating) for over 10 months were invited.. BUT we addressed the label as Mr. John Smith and Miss. Barbara Bush.. Because we knew they are dating.. If you write AND GUEST, you may end up with the horror stories many ladies have experienced... Good Luck!

Re: and guest?
The only other thing I suggest is that if you are going to cut the '& guest' for some people, that you tell these people first so that they are prepared. If they are good friends, they will understand.
Friends of ours were married last year and cut all the '& Guest', and let me tell you, there were many people ticked off about it. They said that if they had been told first they would have expected it.

Re: and guest?
I agree with Vicki. If you tell them beforehand, they should be understanding. A co-worker did that with a bunch of us at my previous job and I appreciated it. She basically told us that they were on a tight budget and she really wanted all of us from work there (most of us at the time didn't have boyfriends anyway) but she wouldn't be able to invite us with guests. Then, after she received more 'no's' than she thought, she came back to us & said, 'Hey, I know this might sound weird but you guys CAN invite guests now if you want, blah, blah, blah.'
