I don't think you need to invite everyone + guest, but then I have never understood taking a date other then someone you are dating to a wedding/any other event - if I am a guest at a wedding they should know if I am datign someone, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think "and guest" is obligatory - no one should have to double a guest list (double the cost!). If the invitee can't possibly appear without guest, the option is to decline.
That's what we were saying!

This, too -- if I don't know the person's name, I don't need to have them at my wedding! Although my coworkers were saying living together/engaged/married as the barrier for bringing a date, I wouldn't be that strict.

What say you people?
Giving single people the option of bringing a guest is traditional, but I don't think it's a big faux pas to just invite your specific relatives and friends. Seating can be an issue, and the catering for wedding receptions is VERY pricey. Not inviting a known significant other would be more of a problem though.

Wait-- was she say that if you were a couple, you shouldn't have to include "and guest" or was she saying that if you were invited with an and guest, you HAVE to bring a guest?

I read it as, if you're sending out invitations to your wedding then all invitations to single people (without a known other) should have "and guest" as part of the invitation.
In my head requiring this of people would be sort of like requiring the invitations to include children. It's the option of the people doing the inviting to choose who they want at the party.

Matt - didn't I see that groom's cake on Ace of Cakes? Our family's favorite show now. My sister wants her 40th b-day cake to be made by Duff. That guy is amazing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's certainly not obligatory, given the cost of catering, but your guests will appreciate having someone to talk to or dance with. And happy guests are important!

I've been to very few weddings where the only person I know is the bride or groom. Those that I have attended, I did not go to the reception adn my RSVP reflected that.

Off the record? Does she turn 40 on or after mid-to-late '09? They're a little backed up....
and I think cakes are going for $$$.
You should see the cake they made for the Charm City Roller Girls though. It rocks.
