The Single Guest Question

As a wedding planner, this a question I get all the time:
We want to invite several of our single friends to the wedding. Do we have to give them the option of bringing a guest?

Well here is my answer:
It's nice to allow your single guests to bring a date, but it is not required. Decide on a case-by-case bases. If your friend lives with their significant other, then it would be nice to allow them a guest. If you single friend just started a budding relationship, consider your guest list and budget before allowing them to bring their new Boo. And for those that you do not allow a guest, sit your single friends with people they know. Don't create the dreaded "Singles Table". It's usually the least talkative table at the reception.

Trust me...you'll thank me later.

Until next time…WEDologize!
