Wedding Etiquette Question 1.

The dreaded guest list…
When each guest might effectively ‘cost’ $150- $200 who is included? And who gets left off the guest list?
One of the hardest cuts is to the new partner of a good friend. How do you decide when someone has been dating one of your friends long enough to be part of the ‘wedding guest list’? Is there a time frame?

Or is it about whether you know the other person – sometimes we don’t see friends for months or years at a time, but still want them at the wedding. How do you handle the situation regarding their new (to you) boyfriend or girlfriend? Is there a rule? I would love your thoughts on this one! Or how important is it to you that all your guests are happy and also enjoying your wedding? It can be difficult as a single person to attend a wedding surounded by couples and feeling a bit ‘left out’. Sending out invitations with “plus friend/partner” can be expensive, but also inviting partners can make the day more enjoyable for your guests. But I know single friends who decline wedding invitations if they are expected to go alone… not easy is it. What is your view of this? Perhaps you could let me know either on facebook or through my website contact page.
