plus one notice in invites

We only have a couple of single guests and I didn't include a plus one for them. We are having a smelling wedding, 60 people, and I we chose that so we could spend time with those nearest to us. If I were having a 200 guest wedding is be more inclinded to include +1 (budget allowing) but the goal of our wedding and the budget doesn't allow for it

We're including plus ones for all single people. Going to a wedding alone kind of sucks.

But please tell me you don't literally have it as a note saying "you get a plus one" lol.

When you're giving someone a plus one you don't add an insert or whatever saying they get a plus one. You address the invitations to Mr. John Doe and Guest. The RSVP card should have "we have reserved __ seats in your honor", and you'll write in 2.

Most people aren't champing at the bit to bring a random person to someone's wedding, in my experience. Keep in mind that if they have a significant other, that person is not a plus one and needs to be invited by name. As far as your fiancé's idea, it would to extremely rude of your guests to call and ask for a plus one. The only exception to that would be them clarifying if their SO is invited, but if they're close enough to be invited to your wedding, you should be able to find out if they have a significant other to invite.

You just have to write "and guest" on the envelope. I don't think a note is necessary. We gave plus-ones, and no one took us up on it unless they were in a relationship that we didn't know about. One of my coworkers is bringing another coworker who is also his roommate. Other than that, the "plus ones" are actually significant others, which doesn't count as a plus one.

You don't have to give truly single guests a plus one. However it is a nice gesture if that guest does not know anyone. Also bridal party members should always receive a plus one.

If someone is in a relationship their significant other is not considered a plus one. They are considered an invited individual. They should be included on the invitation by name. This is how you address them on the invitation. Do not include "you get a plus one".

Invite for single guest no plus one: Mr. John Doe

Invite for single guest with plus one: Mr. John Doe and Guest

Invite for guest plus their significant other: Mr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Smith

I am a little confused so I am just going to address this the best I can.

The way you tell an invited guest that they may bring a guest of their own is to address the envelope like this: Mr. So and So & Guest. You do not put a "notice" in the invite. In addition, you can put on the rsvp card "2 seats are reserved in your honor" and they fill out a part that says "_ of 2 will be attending." That way you know if they accepted, and if they are bringing a guest. You have to plan and budget for all "plus ones" to attend if they are invited. You will find out when you get the rsvp cards back how many guests are bringing a plus one, but you have to be ready for 100% of them to come and 100% of them to bring a plus one if you offer.

No one should be asking if they can bring a plus one. That is rude as hell. No one with manners would do that. So if you want to offer them a plus one, you have to do that clearly on the invite address and on the rsvp card. Otherwise, your guests will assume they cannot bring a plus one.

Having said that, offering plus ones is something that is nice to do but not at all required. If you guys are getting too tight on budget and space, you do not have to offer plus ones. It is very much appreciated by single guests. Single people in the wedding party, however, should always get a plus one, and really give some thought about people in circumstances that may make a plus one a relief for them. If any guests have to travel a long way, or if most of your guests are couples and you only have a handful of singles, giving them a plus one can make coming to the wedding much more attractive for them.

I don't think you are doing this OP, but for any lurkers- "plus ones" are for truly single guests. If you asked that guest "Are you dating anyone special right now?" and they say "no", that is a truly single guest. You can offer them a plus one if you want, but are not required to do so.If the answer is "yes" they are not a truly single guest and you MUST invite their partner. It does not matter if they have been dating for three days, three weeks, three months, three years, engaged, married, whatever. If someone has a partner of any length, that partner is NOT a plus one- they are a named guest and MUST be invited. That couple is a "social unit" and you don't invite just one member of a social unit to an event like a wedding.

"No ring, no bring" is not a thing. Again, that's not for you, OP. Just for general perusers.

Did I cover what you needed OP? I am sort of confused about what the "you get a plus one" might be. An insert I am assuming, but maybe not.
