[quote=Anonymous]I am not reading all the comments but from someone married over 20years and have been to a lot of weddings:

Yes, it is your day but you likely chose your bridesmaids because they are people who have been important in your life ( and ideally will remain so).

I suppose inviting single friends where you do not know their SO ( let’s say a dear work friend) then that’s fine. But, a bridesmaid is someone you are close to and deeply care about….they are letting you know that they do not want to be “ alone.” One extra guest should not break the budget.

Lastly, as someone who got married much later than all of my friends (mid30s) and went to many weddings as the single friend it ranged from slightly uncomfortable to very uncomfortable. Things like sitting with all your friends until a dance and everyone gets up with their spouse/so, only knowing the bride or groom, Paying for an expensive room for one, being hit on by married me .

Weddings are beautiful and joyful. Be a beautiful and joyful bride and show her compassion. You chose her as a bridesmaid for a reason. Focus on that and not dictating who she can and can’t bring.
