    im getting married and i have a similar situation where as my sisters dating a man 3 months and wants him to come- ive never met him in my life and wont till my wedding day so i said no- and shes throwing a fit!

    That is your sister, though. Why can't she bring a date?
    I would've understood it if it was lots and lots of distant cousins with boyfriends/girlfriends you have never met, but your sister's boyfriend?? Come one :rolleyes:

    If I was dating someone for 3 months and my sister said I couldn't have him come to the wedding with me then we would have a problem. Understand not asking someone for the sake of it but if you are seeing them it's different..

    I was with my boyfriend over a year when my brother got married. My brother had never met my boyfriend and as such he was not invited. Didn't bother me in the least, the wedding was abroad and I was happy not to have to look after anyone or incur the expense!

    But yeah for the sake of keeping the peace she should probably just let her sister bring the boyfriend. One more dinner isn't worth all the drama. Though if the sister is the bridesmaid he's going to be left alone for a lot of it as she'd be at the head table.

    I've been invited to weddings on my own and frankly I prefer it to be honest!
    No need to be minding someone if they don't know the bride and groom plus weddings definitely can be a good place to score!:D.
    Although if I was invited with a plus one and a friend wanted to come I would oblige them (once they contributed to the card!!!)

    I was wondering the other day about this, why do people invite someone without a partner/friend, always seems it should be up to the person themselves if they want to bring someone?
    Because they don't want some random stranger at a private event like a wedding.

    We invited everyone with a plus one but in retrospect maybe it wasn't the best idea. Two of my friends brought people we already knew pretty well but an aunt of the OH brought her friend and wanted her to be in all the photos!! Kind of ruined the group one of our friends imo.

    Another friend of his went cruising for a girlfriend for the occasion, found one two weeks before, got dumped three days before and asked us to remove all trace of her from the wedding. This was impossible as her name was already on the tabe plan and tbh I wouldn't have bothered removing it anyway. He had the piss ripped out of him at the table and they used the flowers as his pretend date, then he had the cheek to get annoyed with me!! Promptly removed me from FB and all, what a muppet. No less than I expected though, it has to be said that guy has always been a tool.

    I think it's a great idea to invite plus ones but if people just bring them because they don't want to look lonely and sad then sorry but FAIL. Bringing people you hardly know to a wedding is way more pathetic. A wedding is full of people who know eachother through the bride and groom and because of this everyone has something in common- no excuse for not knowing anyone, have really developed relationships, especially with my OHs family, from meeting people at weddings.
