Plus one seating plan

Hi, I need help. We just got RSVPs back. We did not put "and guest" on invites, just individual names, but a lot come back with a "2" and no name on the RSVP card of who the "plus one" is. We figured out that enough people said no, that the plus ones were ok and won't go over our "number." I have asked several of our guests the name of the Plus one so I can add it to the seating plan and I just get a first name, or "guest is fine." I don' t want to write "guest (insert invited persons last name)." Even though the plus one was not initially invited, we want them to feel welcome. I have asked a few times for the names and haven't received anything back. So what is the etiquette if you don't know the plus one's name on the seating plan, and how do you keep asking (for the 5th time) who it is?

^ Agreed. You have given them ample opportunity to provide the name of the guest and they have chosen not to. That's on them. It could also be that they truly haven't decided who they want to bring yet, they just know they want to bring someone; therefore, they don't want to give you a name and then end up bringing someone else. I can name a few people in my life who might try to pull this.

As long as you have tried to retrieve the name, you cant really do any more. Just put their names together. My escort cards with say John Doe & Guest & then table 1 under the names

Thanks! I'm not doing cards, but listing out seating by table. So "Last Name, Guest" it is!! Much appreciated! If they don't know who they are bringing, then they shouldn't have RSVPd with a plus one, cause we certainly didn't add "and guest" to any invites. (sorry, mini rant).
Thanks again!!
