#thatawkwardmoment when trying to be funny and have a laugh doesn't translate well on the internet. (Especially if someone has very little of a sense of humour. )

There are varying degrees of a sense of humour ...........

Don't you? Oh well, that explains it I suppose.;)

We had a rule. If we'd never met them they could come to the evening do, but we weren't paying £50+ per head feeding strangers!!

Hmm, asking people to celebrate your marriage by ignoring their marriage...

My venue gave me the option of inviting people to the wedding breakfast and evening but not the ceremony because they screwed up on numbers and I wasn't very happy.

I wouldn't go to someone's ceremony and then go away and come back for the evening. I would just go to the evening.

I can only tell you about a wedding I am going to in March and why they haven't done plus one. It is in a marquee with a limit on numbers and so only those who are close to the couple have been invited. If they are single, or if the partner is not known to the couple (and they are part of a group; workmates, uni friends etc) they have not done a plus one.

Its a really simple affair at a community hall.
It means I cant drink, as its a 20 (ish) mile drive home, so a cab is out of the question.

Is it someone your partner knows as well as you or is it a friend of yours only? Even community halls will have a ceiling number I suspect and cost of buffer may be a factor.

Theres no catering in the evening, as far as i know, its a simple party at a village hall. Guests clean up after the party :-)

The term wedding breakfast was never used by any of my friends when they got married and some of them had pretty big and expensive weddings, who knows, terminology may have changed in the last 15 years or so since I was last at a wedding, was always just referred to as a meal.

Ive also only ever been asked to go to the full day and evening reception or the reception itself, never the church and then to the reception at night.
