how would you hand this...sincfe the invites went out, 2 people have asked if they could bring a guest. one person is sorta seeing someone and another friend as she put it, says she's offically with someone. i told them i have to wait and see how the respones come in.
That's always a tricky situation - you will learn, as I will, that there is always going to be people who want to bring guests, kids, etc. It sounds as if you are trying to keep your count down limiting the 'and guest' to those engaged or in a serious relationship, which is perfectly understandable. I think your response was fine and maybe if you get three or four 'no's' you can allow the few people who ask to bring their guest. I wouldn't stress - it's always tough, you say yes to one, you have to say yes to all, never easy!!!

I would do what you did and make them wait a bit. First of all you sent your invites pretty early so that gives you alot of time to see how many people are coming before you make a decision. If you are getting less then expected then I would let them come.
Also since it seems they really ARENT in serious relationships it lets you get close to the date to see if they are even still together before making a decision.

i agree. i could also talk to her sister to see if they're serious or how serious they are. i know fh would be afraid if 2 people, come, the gift would be like its for 1 person. i hope that doesn't sound selfish
