Guest List: plus ones
Heather, on July 27, 2021 at 3:26 PM

My fiancé and I are having a small, intimate wedding. Our dilemma is adding plus ones that are strangers to us and are not in either of our lives. What is the etiquette for this situation?

What counts as a destination wedding?
Chantelle, on July 26, 2021 at 9:16 PM
