Frequently asked questions
What should no plus-one wedding invitation wording include?
Use the wording to politely make clear that the invitation is for the named guest only. Keep the invitation, names, date, time and venue easy to identify, then add the no plus-one wedding invitation detail without burying the core invitation.
How do I show that an invitation does not include a plus one?
Address the invitation to the named guest only and make the RSVP specific to that person. If confusion is likely, a short website or details-card note can explain that numbers are limited to those named.
Should no plus-one wedding invitation wording go on the main invitation or on an insert?
For no plus-one wedding invitation wording, put anything that changes who is invited or what they are invited to on the main invitation. Use main invitation, invitation insert or digital invitation for longer explanation, travel information or secondary etiquette notes so the core invitation stays easy to read.
