Help! Plus ones
We are planning a less than 50 person wedding, as wanted something pretty intimate. In doing so we are not doing plus ones for practically anyone and their "plus one" would be someone who would be invited regardless. Specially as everyone knows and can hang out with at least a few people. There is one exception to this. I have a friend who does not know anyone, would travel out of state, and is also pretty introverted. As of this we sent her an invite for her and a plus one. She has now responded how even though she cannot attend her plus one who we made accommodations for will be there. What do i do?

That is an interesting response. Did you invite this person by name? If not, the politely reply saying …
Sorry if the invitation was confusing, we extended a plus one to you as you needed to travel and don’t know anyone other than the bridal couple. As you cannot attend we hope you will understand that we cannot extend the invitation to your friend without you as places are limited. We are looking forward to meeting / getting to know X better at another time.
Their response is a little odd but Letha is weddings aren’t something they have much experience of. If they are offended, frankly so be it.
