Fh has a couple of his friends that he associates with that he wants to invite to the wedding. We really don't know their girlfriends and I really don't want to invite them. When we were doing a pre-list for the wedding we had to decide if we were going to accommodate girlfriends or family. Of course, we picked family.
He mentioned it to his friends and they are not offended by this. I know it sounds real harsh but we don't know what else to do. We don't want to have to go over our list of 150.

If the friends are okay with it, I see no problem. Wouldn't you rather have your family there than some random girl you don't know??? It's your wedding, you decide!

08er here...
this is EXACTLY what we are doing!! unless you are in the BP or we know your sig other, you are not getting invited with a guest... we have explained this to all of our friends who fall into this category (which isnt a lot) and they are fine with it!
i say that if you are inviting ppl without a guest, just make sure they will know ppl there so you can sit them together so they dont feel akward!!!

If they are not offended by this then you should not even worry. I am doing the same thing with FH friend because non of his friend are in a commited relationship and I am not going to waste an invite for their dates. Your FH was nice enough to even ask friends. My FH will let them know when invites go out.

I wouldn't worry about it if the friends are fine with it...I think for the most part that people understand the money constraints and the space constraints... and his friends are guys and I am sure are totally fine with it... guys don't usually get upset about stuff like that....their girlfriends on the other hand are probably cursing you but who gives a f**k!!!

personally i feel that if they are over a certain age and have significant others they should be invited with guest.. I would be PO if FH got invited and i didnt.

I think it's fine as long as you don't know the girlfriends.

This is exactly what we are doing. We have to stay under a certain number bc that is the constraint of our room. I have more important people that i want to be there then allowing friends to bring random dates that i have never met. I will definitely consider inviting them with a guest if i hear of enough people not being able to make it.

Girl, if you dont know them, then dont invite them. Like someone else said, I would rather have family than someone I dont know.
