Hi guys, just about to start getting my invites ready to send out. Does anyone have any tips for how to go about letting single guests know they're welcome to bring a plus one? I have a couple ideas but not sure if they're the proper way to go about doing this. One idea is to slip a little printed note in with the invites of those who are welcome to bring a plus one. The other idea is to write on the inner envelope the guests name and next to it, "and plus one". I'd love any input. Thanks!

I should've done this. Apparently it wasn't clear that if the envelope doesn't say "and guest" or "plus one", and I've had a few folks assume that they can bring someone with them when they saw the "Number of Attending ___" without spelling out the number of max invitees. I've had some awkward convos as a result of people's lack of knowledge of wedding etiquette.

My cousin just sent her invitation to my family with the same thing: "5 seats reserved in your honor." Do you know the etiquette of inviting my boyfriend if my brother can't make it?

Write "and guest" on the inner envelope

With online RSVP happening more often than a response card and an inner envelope -- I added a guest to their online RSVP and the following extra note inside their invitation...
A Special Note
We are thrilled to include you in the celebration of our marriage. We have included an extra guest in the online RSVP for you. If there is a special someone, who you want to bring along, please add their name online. Don’t feel pressured to find a date or bring a friend, it is going to be a great party since you will be there! Love, Suzanne & Tony
