Should you allow your single guests to bring a date?

This is a debate for the books and probably always will be. If money is tight for the wedding than it may be something to consider but keep in mind you want your guests to have a great time and enjoy themselves at your wedding. I think it's appropriate to deal with this problem on a case-by-case basis. If you have unmarried friends and relatives in long-term relationships, you might want to consider inviting their partners. (Even though they're not married, they're committed.) Then, invite your more single friends and relatives without dates rather than crossing them off your guest list all together. If you choose to do assigned seating, carefully consider where to seat them at the wedding; you may want to put them with other singles so they won't get stuck at a table of couples. Who knows, two of your guests might even make a match at your wedding!
