EDIT: i obviously dont mean married or engaged

Living together, engaged, married or dating more than a year.
ETA: Though we invited both halves of married and engaged couples and gave a plus one to all other guests (single or just dating, though the boy/girlfriend was invited by name where possible).
Definatelty anyone married, engaged, or living together. I might go down as low as dating for 6 months, depending on the couple. And I’m sure you know, but they shouldn’t be addressed as “Plus 1” on the invitation, they should have their full name on the invitation.
I put 0-6 months not living together.
I sort of wish I could have voted for multiple poll options. I think if you are able to accommodate plus ones for everyone then that is ideal. I could see people having different lengths of time for whether or not the couple is living together.
If you are living together for any length of time IMO it is long term. If you are not living together but have been together more than a few months I would call it long term as well.
I suppose I should answer my own question, I put 1-2 years living together as anything before that is the honeymoon stage we the couple is just getting to know each other ect
I’d generally say anyone living together and anyone that you think would be if their convictions allowed or their situation did… some people can date casually for years, and otehrs will be firmly established within months.
I think about 6 months, whether or not they’re living together. So I voted 7-12 months not living together but maybe I should’ve voted 0-6, but you get the idea. A decent length of time, whether or not they live together.
Single guests should never be made to feel singled-out and alone during someone’s wedding. +1 should be extended to all whose partner/preferred companion date is not known by name.
6 months to a year. It dosnt matter to me if they are living together or not.
@Pokemon: There’s not really a poll option for what we did, which was give a plus one to all adults (everyone above college age plus my college-aged nephew who has a serious gf). We didn’t set any relationship requirements. I didn’t feel comfortable inviting people to travel, stay in a hotel, and spend the evening possibly knowing nobody. I wanted them to enjoy themselves as much as possible, and for me, that meant having the oportunity to bring a guest. I understand that some people don’t do plus ones for everyone – we were lucky in that we were able to.
…I mean it’s just a wedding, I’m sure the focus on coupledom and romantic love will be extra fun for them when they’re sitting there alone, not to mention all the time I will personally have to spend with them. And hey, that +1 budget can go to extra-fancy centerpieces instead. That’s prioritizing.
