Well, if you are as single as me then you have just stumbled upon the best article you would ever read today.Weddings are one of the most beautiful and happy events to get invited to, but what fun will a wedding be if you don’t know anyone and you don’t have anyone to talk to?
For extroverts that would pose no problem because in no time they have made friends with half the people at the party. However, for introverts like me, that will just be a horrific thing for us.
Imagine having to start up a conversation with a total stranger! While it may not be so bad, I would rather avoid it at all. To do that, I will ask someone that I’m comfortable and familiar with to come with me to the wedding as my date.
It could be anyone; it’s not limited to any particular gender. Now for those who would like to know how I go about that, I’ve written, in this article, my top best ways to ask someone to be my date to a wedding.

1. I have a wedding coming up and I’d be thrilled if you accompany me as my plus-one
This statement sounds quite informal and should be easily used with someone you are already well acquainted with.
It’s quite straightforward and straight to the point, and it would appear that that is not the first time you’ve asked this particular person to be your date to a wedding.
When you use this statement, let your eagerness and excitement show. It will likely motivate the person to want to go with you.
They help to convince the person to come with you.
- ‘I have a wedding coming up and I’d be thrilled if you accompanied me as my plus-one.’
- ‘Oh! I’d be delighted!’
2. I have a wedding invitation and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather go with than you. Are you free that day?
If you intend to make the other person feel special, then this is the best go-to statement. They will be glad that you think the best of them and that you believe that they will be a better company than any other person you know.
The statement also symbolizes that you’ve had some time to think of people that you could go with, and still ended up picking them.
It will even mean more when the person knows that you know so many people who will be better company but you choose them. That simple act will make them feel special.
- ‘I have a wedding invitation and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather go with than you.’
- ‘I’m honored!’
- ‘Are you free that day?’
3. I need someone as crazy as I am to attend a wedding and I couldn’t think of a better company. Are you up for it?
This is both an informal and hilarious way to ask someone to be your date at a wedding. Mostly suitable for an extrovert who has a crazy way of doing things.
As it is said, ‘birds of the same feather’, which means that as a crazy extrovert, if you must ask someone to be your date to a wedding, he/she must be as crazy as you.
When you use this statement, it means that the other person is used to your crazy side and nothing you do will surprise them that much.
- ‘I need someone as crazy as I am to attend a wedding and I couldn’t think of a better company.’
- ‘Don’t know whether this is a compliment or an insult, lol’
- ‘Are you up for it?’
4. I’ve got a wedding to attend and it would mean a lot to me if you came along as my date
This sounds personal and is an emotional way to ask someone to be your date at a wedding. This is the best way to honor a family or friend; it shows the person that they mean a lot to you and that you hold them in high esteem.
It can also be that the wedding card specifies that you are free to bring a plus one, which is why you’ve asked this person who is important to you to do you that honor.
This can also be used by people in relationships where you want your partner to accompany you to a wedding as your date.
- ‘I’ve got a wedding to attend and it would mean a lot if you came along as my date.’
- ‘I’m happy you asked, and of course, I accept.’
5. I’d love for you to be my guest at a wedding and I’d enjoy having you by my side
This is a very simple way to ask someone to be your date for a wedding. It is simple and straight to the point, and it shows that you enjoy the person’s company a lot.
This shows that the person is very close to you and you have spent a lot of time with them to know that you enjoy their company. This is another statement that can be used by couples or two people who share a love interest.
- ‘I’d love for you to be my guest at a wedding…’
- ‘Oh really.’
- ‘Yeah, I’d enjoy having you by my side.’
6. I have a special event coming and who better to go to a wedding with than my partner in crime? I promise not to start any dance floor disasters…again.
Not only is this an interesting way to ask someone to be your date to a wedding, but it is also a lighthearted means. This statement signifies that you are very close to the person and both of you have done lots of mischievous things together.
It also shows that you and the person share many interesting memories, which will make them a great company.
- ‘I have a special event coming and who better to go to a wedding with than my partner in crime.’
- ‘You know how our last wedding ended.’
- ‘I promise not to start any dance floor disasters…again.’
7. I’ve got an adventure you may be interested in – a wedding to crash…I mean, attend. Care to join me for the adventure?
Ever heard of wedding crashers? Well, when you are not invited to a wedding that you know about and you have nothing to do, you may draw yourself an invite.
It could be a society wedding or a wedding in the neighborhood, and for someone who loves weddings, there’s no harm in just wearing a nice dress and just showing up.
However, you may not want to do that alone, so you need a partner to go on your little adventure.
- ‘I’ve got an adventure you may be interested in…’
- ‘Oooh, I love adventures! Fill me in!’
- ‘…a wedding to crash…I mean, attend. Care to join me for the adventure?’
8. I know how much you love cakes and I thought to call you to help me devour all the cake at this wedding. So, are you in?
One thing I love about weddings is that there is an abundance of cakes and I get to eat as many cakes as I want.
I’m a cake lover, but on normal days, I tend to avoid it cause I don’t want to abuse it. However, I make exceptions when I’m at a wedding and use the excuse of a happy time to snuff the guilt that may come with it. I mean, what better time to share a cake with loved ones than in an atmosphere of love and celebration?
This means that if you have someone who loves cake a lot, then this is the right statement for you to use.
- ‘I know how much you love cakes and I thought to call you to help me devour all the cake at this wedding.’
- ‘Hmm, I like the sound of that.’
- ‘So, are you in?’
9. I’ve got two left feet and a wedding to attend. Fancy being my dance coach on the dance floor?
For every wedding you attend, you are expected to dance and be merry with others. While some people would hit it off straight away on the dance floor, some people cannot dance to save their lives.
Having two left feet means that no matter how much you try, you can never make the right moves during a dance. While it is nothing to be ashamed of, you might want to go with someone who is in the same shoes as you so that you don’t suffer the embarrassment alone.
- ‘I’ve got two left feet and a wedding to attend.’
- ‘Add mine and that will make it four.’
- ‘Doesn’t matter. Fancy being my dance coach on the dance floor?’
10. Rumour has it that there will be a bouquet toss at the wedding. Come along with me to catch it cause you need a man
A bouquet toss is a wedding ritual where the bride tosses her flowers to her bridesmaids and other unmarried women, and whoever catches it will be the next person to get married.
This is the highlight of the wedding for most young unmarried women at a wedding as most of them firmly believe in this ritual. There are still some stubborn people who believe that whether or not they catch a bouquet, they will still end up with a nice and worthy partner.
But the exception does not make the rule. Hence, if you know a friend who is probably single like you, you may want to use this statement to invite her to a bouquet-tossing wedding.
- ‘Rumour has it that there’s going to be a bouquet toss at the wedding.’
- ‘I’m all ears.’
- ‘Come along with me to catch it ’cause you need a man.’
