I wouldn’t go. I’d send a nice present instead. That is waaaaay too much effort especially since she’s not going to have any time for you and you don’t have anyone to amust yourself with. Although, you might meet a dishy grooms man or waiter at the shindig. Oh wait, I forgot you are on a hiatus! oh well.

Never waste time and don’t be left alone, have someone to love and venture searching your real love. I suggest you go to webdatedotcom and find out that there’s someone for you there also looking for you. Might be… before the wedding you already got someone to bring along.

Inviting a single person without the option of bringing a guest is rude, insulting and just plain uncouth.

Forgo the gift, send a card and stay home.

How rude! This gives me outrage, I feel personally insulted by your own story (as a single, single woman).

This teaches me two things,

1) I want to have a very small wedding, although I don’t know this groom yet, so we’ll see when the dream day arrives. But I think I’ll add, “plus guest on request” to the invitations (perhaps just for certain people). Yes, this is unheard of, but I’m very interested in not doing things traditionally.

2) I have to make sure the groom and I get to know each other’s guests very well before The Day. I don’t even want a single person at my wedding whom I don’t know well enough to personally invite, so maybe we’ll meet with all the dates, too.

Hmm, I’m difficult, it could add to this Single Girl Problem.

I agree with Stuckey to a point… Call and ask if it’s cool to bring someone and if they say no, then just send a card without attending.

I would not send a gift or a giftcard.

If it was just some accident or mistake that they didn’t put “and guest” on there OK then, but if it was intentional then it was just rude.

Maybe they want you to come on your own because they have other singletons there that they’d like you to meet….?

How about you call the person who invited you and say, “Hey, I noticed you didn’t write ‘and guest’ on the invite, but I’d like to bring someone. Is that cool?”

If they say no, then send them a gift card for some housewares shop and don’t attend.

I say go and make a spectacle of yourself. Get drunk, fall into the wedding cake, etc.

Hmm. That is a difficult situation. I have been in it before, and when it doesn’t say “and guest,” I don’t go. Who wants to go to something like that by themselves?! Yawn.
