Inviting someone to your wedding without their partner can feel awkward, emotional and even a little stressful, but it’s something many couples face when planning their guest list.

Whether it’s due to budget limitations, venue size, family dynamics, or simply personal preference, this week Jenny breaks down exactly how to handle “no plus ones” with kindness, clarity and confidence.

In this episode, Jenny shares:

• How to confidently finalise your guest list without guilt

• The best way to word invitations when partners aren’t included

• Why proper invitation wording and RSVP names matter

• How to use your wedding website to gently clarify your “no plus ones” policy

• Expert reassurance for guests who may feel awkward attending solo

• How to prioritise what you want for your wedding day

Jenny also explains why your wedding should reflect your space, budget and comfort, and why it’s perfectly okay to make choices that work for you, even if it means some guests attend alone.
