It's no fun to be by yourself at a wedding. But if the bride and groom have set their guest list properly, even if you don't have a date, you won't be "alone", you'll be seated with people you know (family, friends, or coworkers, depending on how you know the couple). And you can always meet new people.
It's nice (not required, but nice) to invite people's boyfriends/girlfriends. My husband and I did this for our wedding, and it meant inviting a few people we barely knew, but that's ok. We found out their names and addresses, though, and sent them their own invitations, rather than writing "...and guest". Those who were single, we invited alone (no "and guest"), but we made sure they were seated with people they knew, so they wouldn't feel lonely or awkward.
It's really up to the bride and groom whom they wish to invite, and whether they wish to include boyfriends/girlfriends and children. The guests need to respect whatever decision the bride and groom have made, and not show up with uninvited people in tow.
