Frequently asked questions

What should plus-one wedding invitation wording include?

Use the wording to make it clear that the guest may bring a plus one. Keep the invitation, names, date, time and venue easy to identify, then add the plus-one wedding invitation detail without burying the core invitation.

Should I write “and guest” or name the plus one?

If you know the person’s name, naming them is warmer and clearer. “And guest” is perfectly acceptable when the invitee may choose their companion later, with the RSVP collecting the final name.

Should plus-one wedding invitation wording go on the main invitation or on an insert?

For 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.
