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]

Gimme a break.  You think that every single person should have a plus one in order to avoid the so-called "awkwardness" of one or two people having to ask ask a good friend to bring their significant other to the wedding?  That's absurd.  [/quote]

Meh, have the size wedding you can afford. If you can't do a +1 for your friends, you're inviting too many people.[/quote]

+1 and honestly a lot of single people may not choose to bring a guest but they should be given the option. [/quote

This! Just because you don’t get why a single person would want to bring a date to your wedding, where most others are coupled up and there is dinner and dancing, doesn’t mean you should refuse to offer the option to your single guests.

I’ve attended a wedding of a good friend while single and declined to bring a date (although I was offered a +1) because I was going to know a ton of people and wanted to spend time with friends. But, I’ve also brought a casual date to a wedding as a +1 for a less close friend , and for a coworker, where I was going to know limited people and going alone would have felt awkward for me.

You need to give people the choice, or it’s rude. [/quote]
