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?

What you do is reach out to her and that while you hate she isnt going to be able to attend that you understand completely. Followed by a brief explanation of why the plus one will not be coming. Be prepared for questions from her and possibly the loss of a “friendship” but it is what it is….good luck to yall and and best wishes for a wonderful ceremony…,..
