are you getting names of your guests 1's???

We only had a couple situations like that, and by default we knew the guest they're bringing as well. For example, FH wanted to invite his groomsman's mom who is a widow. She's bringing one of her girlfriends who he also knows pretty well, and who has always been sweet to me. I'm really excited about that plus 1.

I'm not doing seating arrangements, personally. My venue is not as conducive for it. If I don't know their name, I will just say "and Guest" on the envelope. If I do, I'll put their name.

We asked for names - i have to do individual escort cards and couldn't bring myself to put "Joe Schmoe Guest"

I am trying to! under the guest's name, i put a line that read:

Name of guest ____________________________________

I did only because I personalized each welcome bag, so I wanted to include the plus 1's on there as well.

@Erin - they won't fill it in. people don't know how to do RSVP cards. i'm not exaggerating.

Like Jaime said, it's always nice to have a name instead of "and guest." For the invitations, if you're giving a guest a +1 but (s)he doesn't necessarily have a SO, it's ok to put "and guest." Once the rsvps start coming in, if the +1's name isn't written on the M_______ line, just give the guest a call to find out the name.

We did our place card per couple/family, so I didn't have every guests name written out. There were only a couple of plus ones that I didn't know, so I just put Mr John Doe and Guest on the place card. At that point, I was tired of trying to follow up with people for their rsvps, let alone their guest names.

If they are in a relationship, PLEASE get the name of their SO (unless u are addressing invites like "the Doe Family"). We had 1-2 people who were not in a relationship, but who got a +1 because of the situation (mom's co-worker, everyone else she knew was married, etc.). Those are the ONLY people I put "and guest". Everyone else who got a plus one was in a relationship. I had a friend get married 1 month after us - I received both the STDs and invite (well after we were engaged, plus DH and I had been together 5 years at that point) and they were addressed to Ms. Beth Blue and guest. That really irked me and made me feel like we were an after thought and my friend couldn't be bothered to learn the name of my future husband. Take the time to learn my DH's last name. We reached out to everyone whose significant others we didn't know well - sometimes just a last name, sometimes we needed the whole name if we hadn't met them yet. Facebook stalking works too!

Same here, we aren't doing plus ones, we are doing significant others. So I should know their names, lmao.

I think it would only polite of me to learn names of who will be attending my wedding lol --- But i just didnt know if it was easier to just say plus 1 lol

I will be asking the people we are giving "plus 1s" to. It isn't that many people. Some of the BP, much older cousins, etc...They are in the WW RSVP tool as "John Smith +1" but when they RSVP yes I'll contact them to get the name of their person.

Were only allowing serious live in BF or GF's because of the intimate wedding were having, so we will know their names
