Who to include on invitations!?

Ostrichfeather, on May 30, 2022 at 3:12 PM Posted in Planning 3 5
Vague title. Yes. Lol. My fiancé and I would like to include the names of all of our guests on our invitations. We don’t want any invitations to say “and guest.” So, we are thinking of texting any potentially previously known to be single friends and asking them if they have a significant other or if they have someone whose name we should add to their invitation. The goal is to have everyone’s name known by us, to value their new relationships, and to cut down on rando guests at our wedding. There are some single friends we don’t regularly see but want to have accurate info for! What do you guys think is the tactful way to request this information? Like how to word it??? We’ll likely text or call these ppl to find out. We’ll be ordering our invitations shortly and will be taking them to a calligrapher to have them done. Thank you all for your help with this!!!!

    You can simply call/text and ask if they're seeing anyone and what that person's name is

    I also named all additional guests/SO's on my invites. I texted my friends/family to get their current address and asked if they were seeing someone at the same time.

    Id just text to ask. If you feel like you need an “excuse” or reason for needing the names you can always mention you want to spellcheck and/or confirm the name they’d like on their guest info (I had some who recently got married who hadn’t decided if they were changing name, some others who only go by their middle name etc and I just asked what they’d prefer in the invite/escort card ).


    Good luck!

    I personally did not ask prior - but my RSPV deadline was this pasty weekend and I am reaching out to all + ones to get spelling for seating arrangement

    Ask them in a normal conversation for their partner’s name and correct spelling. Don’t overthink it. Also not everyone who is single is comfortable bringing a guest.
