If you sent out your invites...and one of your co-workers you did not invite with a guest. The co-worker thinks it's an over sight, so he/she asks you if they can bring a guest??? (Of course we all know we think of every guest, so it is not an oversight.)
Opinions please??? Mad, obligated to say yes????

That's exactly how I would feel. Upset and obligated to say yes, especially if the co-worker has a serious significant other. If they don't and you have invited other coworkers whom (s)he knows, then I would say 'no guests'

I would simply tell them (politely) that you both have large families and that you're limited in space so you couldn't invite friends as well as their guests. The only time I have to agree with allowing guests is if they are married.

I would feel a little annoyed and definitely obligated to just say yes.
However, a friend of mine got married two years ago and invited a bunch of her friends without guests. She just explained to them that that's the way it has to be and they all showed up, no guest and it was no problem!

I would be obligated to say yes, however, something like that would make me so mad that I would just tell them that b/c of financial reasons they can't bring one..

GRRRRR!!!!! I would be annoyed, but probably just say yes. Don't people realize how expensive weddings are? Too expensive to be inviting strangers!

Thanks guys! I was just taking a poll as that's a situation going on at work. I personally don't think she should ask to bring her boyfriend if she was not invited with one. Some of us were, and some weren't. Only the girls w/ husbands/fiance's and serious boyfriends were- --
Thanks for the advice!!

tell them your budget doesnt allow for people to bring guests, but if they have a bf/gf of a long time that youd allow 1 extra

You aren't obligated to do anything you don't want to on your wedding. Politely explain the situation - hopefully she is the kind of person that will understand.
