Can I bring a plus 1?

Maybe she felt weird if she doesn't know your FH's name, or isn't sure how to spell it, or what not. That would explain it.

For Cate's invites, I am making calls to all guests that have a plus one. I would like their names for a few reasons. I would rather the outside envelope be addressed to the person living at the address and have the name of the person and the name of their guest on the inside envelope. I just always found it tacky to receive something mailed that read MS. Carole B and guest. I feel it is better suited on the inside envelope. She will also do that on her RSVP card. We also need the individual names of all guests for the place cards. It's going to be a pain in the arse, but oh well, I guess as wedding planner that is my job.

We also put areas for people to give us the number accepting or the number declining. It made it much easier! Although we did still have people not respond at all. :/

I was really paranoid about my addresses. For one, we're not inviting plus ones. Everyone that gets a date is either married, engaged, or in a serious relationship. I also made sure I knew the names of every date that's invited. I just wanted to avoid these kinds of awkward situations...

Amen Kathleen! Not knowing the names is awkward.
