Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

I, personally, think people should be invited w/ a guest. Before I met FH, I was often the single person who would bring a random person to a wedding and it was often my close gay friend! I always appreciated being able to bring someone. JMO!

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

We were initially not going to invite the BP with a guest if they weren't dating somone. But since most of our bridal party with the exception of my brother, one of our GM and one of my BM aren't dating so we ended up inviting them with guests, we felt bad not.

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

i think my opinion on dates isn't the norm.. i made sure everyone i invited was invited with a guest because i want people to come, be comfortable, and have a great time. but that's only me and i am having a smaller wedding.

to your question.. i think it's only right that the BP members can bring a date whether they're in a relationship or not. but then again i don't know your situation either.. like the # of people invited and your min..

i think i'm rambling

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

Yeah I sort of agree with you. I mean, we did invite all our single BP members with a guest but most of them aren't bringing anyone random just b/c they'd feel like they'd have to 'babysit' this person all night. If I were single and in someone's BP, I know I'd feel the same way. My MOH isn't dating anyone but she's bringing a good friend of hers that I know very well so I would love for him to be there.

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

Most of the people I invited to my wedding, I invited with a guest. A few of the people in our bp are not seriously dating anyone but we are giving them the option to decide.

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

I think they should be invited with guest, but nobody in ours brought anyone (if they didn't have a significant other), in fact some of the girls didn't even bring the boyfriends for various reasons (conflicts)....but I still think they are doing so much for you, they should be able to bring a guest. SIL was the only one who brought someone who wasn't her bf/gf, and that was her friend who is also a girl, but she's 19 and cranky so we allowed it

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

Most of by bridal party is single. I am not inviting them with a date because ALL of our friends are going to be there and they all know eachother and are friends. The ones who are dating someone are either all ready have their 'mate' in the bp or just invited because we are all friends

Re: should everyone in the BP be invited with a date?

We did not invite people who were not in serious relationships with guests. We just didn't have the money to do it. But we made sure the ones who don't have a guest are sitting with people they know well and can hang out with.

IMO yes the BP should be invited with a guest period end of it. They are your BP (guests of honor so to speak) and should have the option of bringing a guest HTH
