Fights are breaking out in my immediate family over this. I think no. Other people have other opinions.
All I know is I've been starving to save for this wedding. She can go to hell.

The answer in one word....No!!!

The answer is no.....Weddings are expensive undertakings and you have to keep a tight rein on the guest list.

Congrats on the marriage thing!
Tell her no re the guest. Tell her its too expensive, and you hope she understands.

Well, at the risk of being unpopular, I say if u wanna have that much control, don't give her a +1. But if u give a +1, it's tacky to specify that the person describe and say who's coming with them.
Personally, if I get invited 2 a wedding with a +1 and I'm asked to identify this person, I wouldn't bother going. Cos anyone who knows me knows the type of people I associate with, so I'd take offense.

how do u give someone a plus one? If their name and their name only is on the invite, right, it's just them, no? The RSVP does not ask for a number of guests -just accept-decline.
I think it's clear. We'll see what she thinks.

Oh, ok. Well in that case, it's an invite for her alone.
Sometimes I get invitations that will say "SE and guest" or the RSVP card will say +1 on it.
If your card doesn't have any of that, then she should know better, and she's tacky.
One of my pet peeves is ppl who accept the +1 and only give enough to cover 1 plate. WTF?
If I ever decide to get married and have a big wedding, I'm having a wedding etiquette booklet mailed with my invitations.

you better not be joking about the etiquette book. Too many people have NO idea and it's partly their own fault but partly ignorance. It took me years to find out what M was for, or how much of a gift might be appropriate!
She was asking in response to the save-the-date! If we have more room, I'll let her know though.
