Hi Everyone! I have invited some people to my wedding who are not in relationships and I am not giving a plus one based on space restrictions. I am addressing their invitations to just them and not including any "& Guest" or anything.. inside the invitation will be the RSVP card where it has a space for number of guests attending and then either to indicate if they can come or not. My question is, is it rude or acceptable to prefill the number of guests attending on their RSVP card with a 1 to make it clear on the single invites? There are a few people that I could see RSVPing with a guest like a friend or their mother when they are not invited, and I was wondering if it is alright to be proactive about it. Or do I just need to wait and see what happens and address it when it does? I could totally see one person RSVPing for two and bringing her mother, who I didn’t not invite, but I think was expecting an invitation. They will already have friends there so they will know plenty of people.

    I think it’s okay if you want to pre fill the number of guests you are inviting from each household. I understand formal etiquettes however, some guests don’t have any understanding of etiquette and will try to bring their ex, uncle, step kid’s cousin, distant relatives, etc to your wedding that YOU are paying for. To me that’s even more rude than filling in a little blank space on an RSVP card. There shouldn’t be any set rules to these things. It’s YOUR wedding and you know what to expect from your guests. So do as you see fit and whatever will ease any possible stressful situations.
