Are you letting your bp bring dates even if they are not in a relationship?
Original post by hunnybunnyxoxo
Fi and i are debating the whole guest plus dates thing and we figured that we would let the guest bring a date only if they have been dating for a while ( atleast 6 months plus)
now what about the bridal party? since they are in the bp, should we lift the clause and let them bring a date even if they dont have a boyfriend/girlfriend or are dating someone at the time?

My bridal party were all invited with guests 2 of the girls are not in any kind of relationship but I think since they are nmy bridal party and closest friends it is nice for them to have the option of a guest if they would like one. These girls I have been friends with since I was 5 so they know the whole family and are comfortable enough to come on their own but my friend who has been in 5 weddings since last March until now complained about being a bridesmaid without a guest in a college friends wedding bc she didn't know anyone besides the bride. She said she had a good timje with the other girls in the bridal party who she had only met the day before but she would have loved to bring one of her guy friends just so she could get up to dance and she would have felt more comfortable.

People were invited with guests if, and only if: 1-they are living together or engaged 2-they are dating long enough that we know the guest well enough to put their name on the invitation 3-the person being invited does not know any of our other friends and wouldn't know anyone.
That was what our rule of thumb was.

I didn't read carefully the first time...sorry..... if it is someone in your BP, I would definitely allow the guest. Its prob. a very close friend....so the answer is for someone in your BP, yes bring a guest.

No we are not...for the most part though, most of my girls have boyfriends/husbands, etc. And the boys have girlfriends- the rest who are single will not be invited with a guest unless they start seriously dating someone. We have no room!!!

Hellllll to the NO!
With our guest list at 330 already it's not happening. Unless they are in a relationship there is no need for anyone in the BP to bring a guest. If someone is in a BP they barely have time to spend with a guest and my thought is that if these people aren't dating this poor person is stuck not knowing anyone. When I've been in BP's I didn't bring a guest unless it was a serious BF. I felt it was more of a hassel to make sure they were having a good time.

Because my list was already over 200 I said if your not in a serious relationship, no date allowed! I really had no choice and I think everyone understood. Either that or they're all talking smack about me behing my back! LOL

I invited the BP with guest. My one BM almost brought a friend to the wedding as her guest but then it didn't work out. Personally I feel the BP is to be the exception. Everyone else was only invited with guest if they were a friend of our parents out of respect or if they had a serious significant other.

There are only 2 people in the wedding party - one is married and one is dating FH's sister!
However - I am letting my guests bring whomever they choose. I figure if I can invite FH's cousins and his mother's friends whom I have never even met - then it shouldn't bother me to let a friend bring a date.

Everyone 18 and older can bring a date. As for the BP, if they have been dating someone for a while then they can bring a date.

I totally agree! Your BP should understand the burden guest lists/weddings can become since they are so close to it!
I have a major issue with some of my BP (my sisters!!) bringing guests. They are complaining they can't bring a guest because they've ALREADY INVITED SOMEONE FROM THE LOCAL BAR TO COME!!
