6. No +1 weddings: This is rude
5. Dry weddings: I don't drink so I don't care.
3. No open bar weddings: Again, don't drink, don't care.
3. Destination weddings: The couple is doing this for a reason, lol. You don't have to go. 
2. Weddings of couples who ask for cash: Let's get away from the lame gifts. I don't care if they ask. They probably don't want/need another dish towel.
1. No-kids weddings - Absolute love this![/quote]

We didn't invite +1 for our unattached friends.  They took matters into their own hands, and paired off at the reception.  Watching them come into the breakfast the next morning was great.

I do not, for the life of me, know why someone would want to bring a date to a wedding if they were single.  [/quote]
+1 I married at 24 and my mom was in charge of most of this stuff, and her rule was that if you were in a relationship (or married obviously) you got a +1 but if you weren’t, you didn’t. I still think it’s pretty fair and it only caused one minor issue.[/quote]

But at 24 things can change quickly. You can be single 6 months before the wedding when the guest list is drawn up and in a serious relationship by the time the wedding rolls around. Adding a +1 avoids the awkwardness of having to ask if you can bring your significant other.[/quote]

We gave a +1 to all the adults we invited, but then my siblings got pissy because we didn't invite their teenage kids' boyfriends/girlfriends. We finally compromised and said the boyfriends/girlfriends could come to the reception after dinner was over. It ended up being fine but now I have about 50 photos of random teenagers from the photobooth. (As you can imagine, 15 years later none of them are still together...)[/quote]

Your siblings were out of line and entitled.

On the other end of the spectrum, my DH's old female friend tracked him down after losing touch for years, only to send him an invitation without a +1. When he mentioned that he was in a serious relationship with me (months from married ourselves), she was still, "Nope, don't have room, but looking forward to seeing you." It was bizarre how she went through all the trouble of tracking him down (without knowing his relationship status), and then held firm on a technicality (we weren't married yet). [/quote]
