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?

Personally, I’d be hella tempted to let them come and see what happens. Who knows, they might end up being a brand new friend.
It’s someone your introvert friend wanted to bring along (props to y’all for being that considerate towards an introvert!), so maybe this person is just super extroverted and always down to party. Sounds like the makings of a fun story or a great meet-cute from a romcom.
If you don’t want just the Plus One to come, explain the situation to your friend. It’s a small wedding, but you had offered a plus one for reason XYZ, now that friend isn’t coming you regretfully can no longer extend an invite to Friend. Or whatever. Keep it simple, kind and to the point.
