Frequently asked questions
What should no plus-one rsvp wording make clear?
Use the RSVP to make the response card specific to the named guest. Make the response action and deadline obvious, and ask only for information you will genuinely use when planning the wedding.
How do I stop an RSVP form from implying that a plus one is allowed?
Show only the invited guest’s name and do not offer an “add guest” field. If your system allows it, state the number of reserved seats so the response matches the invitation exactly.
