Are you RSVPing through wedding wire, or a separate website? I want to do on line RSVPs but I'm not sure I love wedding wire's format. Any help would b appreciated!

I wrote "and guest" on the envelope. We had online RSVP so when they searched out their name "and guest" came up. I asked them to forward me the name of thier guest so I would know who they are for the wedding.

I would have a checkbox on the R.S.V.P. if you're allowing guests to bring a plus one, though it depends on if you're only allowing specific people to bring a plus one.

If the latter is the case, I'd address it on the envelope rather than R.S.V.P. because you'd then have to order two sets of R.S.V.P.s - one version for guests who you aren't allowing a plus one, and another version for guests who you are allowing a plus one.

We are only offering plus ones to our wedding party, 90% of our guests are in serious relationships. I have addressed the invitations to both of them.

We are doing online RSVPs so for the few people getting plus ones I will attach it to that person. as that persons first name and guest as last name.

We wrote “and guest” on the envelopes.

We all look at thos answer in our views.

My personal view is add the name of the guest along with your guest invited. This way you know who is coming and the number of guests on the RSVP card not so they can fill it in themselves. I differ from this point of view. I would want to know whom and not how many more because the list will jump higher in number.

We are saying “We have reserved x number of seats in your honour.”
This usually includes a Plus one

I totally agree with Brittany! I am getting married in a small venue so I already gave my guests a heads up to those that have significant others which I am not close with that no plus ones are allowed. It's a difficult conversation to have but it's better to be done at the beginning than towards the end!

Personally, I wouldn't put "and guest" or "plus guest" on the front of the envelope... It's their option to bring one, they may not even use it... and I'm a neat freak, and I think it looks cleaner to just have their name on the front.

Then on the inside make sure you put "Their Name & Guest", and yes, putting X number of seats, or ___ of 2, is helpful too.

I'm doing online RSVP as well for the most part, and we aren't actually allowing for any plus ones that we don't know their name (I don't believe in having guests you've never met before)... so when they search their RSVP, it will either be just them, or their S.O.'s name will be listed too.

Great suggestion Stephanie!

I would say both. Doesn't hurt to say it more than once. A tip I had received for RSVPs was to fill in the total number invited for them, so "__ of 2 guests will be coming", and they fill in the number.

Thanks Becky! That definitely helps me with figuring out what to do

When it came to invites and they were allocated a plus one I would write and guest or their name if new it- if they didn't get a plus one it was only addressed to them. I also have a website they are supposed to use to RSVP and if they try to type their plus one in and I didn't give them one to invite, it won't allow them and then they would contact me and see if website issue of if just didn't get a plus one.
