Random People at the Wedding?

I have been pretty open with invitations to our wedding...we are including nearly everyone's kids, and people's significant others...but I want to draw the line at that. FH thinks if someone is over a certain age they should be invited with a guest. I think that if they aren't dating someone by the time the invites go out, they shouldn't. Am I wrong? I just don't want random people at my wedding

i disagree w/ your FH. weddings are expensive and you don't want any random person at your wedding. You don't want to look back at your photos and be like - who the eff was that person?!?!?! It's supposed to be a celebration w/ your friends and families - not randoms

tell him NO

We invited people in relationships with guests and thats it

A few called and asked if they would bring a guest, and we were doing well with nos, so we said yes

NO randoms...

Our venue only holds so many, and we didn't want it to feel crowded

So we either had to cut close friends so people could be invited with randoms or we could invite all of our close friends

I agree with your FH.

Its insulting to be an adult and not invited with a guest.

Is is less or more insulting not to be invited at all to a friend's wedding because other people got guests?

It worked for us because people are coming in large groups of single friends

I agree with this. We are only allowing guests if you are married or in a serious relationship. We are not going to go broke on inviting random people

I'm extending this beyond serious relationship...just A relationship is ok with me...I don't want people bringing friends or random people they just met b/c they were invited with guest, KWIM?

That is what we did

Looks like it doesn't really matter either way, FH's mind is set on inviting everybody and their mother.
