I've received wedding invitations that say "and guest" after my name, but I don't have enough room at my wedding for many people to bring a guest.

Yes, you can invite the person without "and guest" if that person is not in a relationship. Some people are happy to go to a wedding on their own (they could 'meet' someone). It saves them having to think of who they could ask, just because they have "and guest" on their invitation. But of course couples who are an 'item' should both be invited.

If it doesn't say, "and guest", it is a given that only the person receiving the invitation should come. You know the people you are inviting. If there is a person who may bring someone with them, write a personal note on another small piece of paper and state that because of limited space, no other guests are allowed. This is perfectly acceptable.

yes, people are coming to the wedding to support you and that is the only thing that should matter to them. People many times do not understand if you are paying $30 a plate that adding extra people skyrockets that bill, from someone that planned a wedding if you do not have the budget do not do it. The day is beautiful but it is still only a day and if someone can not mingle with guest already invited let then they can keep their behinds home

If the person you are inviting is married or in a commited relationship, you must include their "guest." If the person you are inviting is single, you don't have to include "and guest" on their invitation.
However, be prepared for these singles to show up with a date on their arm. The rules of etiquette are severely lacking in this day & age.

If you're going to limit the invite list, then no one should be able to bring a guest. It is only fair to do it that way instead of picking who can bring someone...it is an all or nothing type of situation.

One of my fiance's long time friends invited me to his wedding even though we had only been dating for a few months. It gave me a chance to meet more of his friends and made me feel more like a part of their circle. Limit children to the wedding, but do give your guests an opportunity to bring someone along who is special to them. Weddings are about love.

We had this issue.
Rule of thumb we applied.
If the "guest" is in a committed relationship with them then they got an invite. I.E engaged or long term dating (2 yrs+)

well personally i wouldn't want to go to a wedding alone and not know people there. plus some would be offended if you allow those with significant others to bring a date but not allow them to. maybe you should strictly limit it to family and very close friends if you don't have much room
