I will be referring to this post at Weddiquette Blog. Thanks! Great question, I hadn’t thought of how to tell people that you don’t want their significant others to come.

I actually just did an interview on this topic (singles and weddings). It should be published in the next couple of weeks. I have to disagree about the group invites (and you ladies know I am all about flexibility when it comes to etiquette), but don't do it. heh.

If they feel uncomfortable, they are welcome to decline the invitation, but the idea that you should exclude them because you are unable to invite their partner (whom you have never met) seems a little sad to me. I'm sure if you explain to your colleagues what the situation is and that you want them there but need to keep numbers down, they'll be happy to come in a group. And if not, it's their loss! Have fun :) I agree with the previous commenter, it is absolutely ok in my opinion to invite a colleague without their significant other or spouse, especially if you are also inviting other colleagues.

I am not sure where I read this, but it was a fairly reliable etiquette resource. But maybe I am wrong! :-) I have read that when it comes to co-workers, it is okay to not include a guest or significant other.
