Evening Invitation../ + ones?

We just put Name and Guest xx

I would always put the name if you know it.

If you don't - i'd make an effort to find out before the wedding.

Well its not possible thats why i have asked for the other way!?!

Name and guest, I'll do that thank you

We are just having everybody to the whole day due to the fact everyone is travelling...however I would go fr Name and Guest as it is what I have seen on invites i the past. I am only inviting people with their other half if they currently have a long term partner though.

The way I've done mine is if I know the +1 name then I'm putting their name, if not then just guest.

e.g. Mr. John Doe and Miss. Jane Doe

or Mr. John Doe and Guest

On the envelope I have addressed only to the main invite, so for the 1st e.g. the adressee would be Mr. John Doe. Even if it is long term partners at the same address I've the addressee is just the one person.

But it's up to you, mine are quite formal invites. xx

Why do you need a "plus guest/plus one" anyway?

If you know someone is in a relationship, invite them and their partner.

If they aren't in a relationship, they don't have anyone to bring.

If you don't know if they are in a relationship or not, or if you don't know the person's name, then perhaps you probably don't know them well enough in the first place to have along to your wedding?

Sorry - I wasn't being rude, that's what I would and have done - you didn't say in your OP that you didn't know their names.

We didn't know the names (or real names) of some of OHs work plus ones so I have given him a list to ask - I want to be able to greet each guest by name

AJ just because you dont NEED/WANT to I do and thats why i asked, it was a simple question of how people were addressing them not for people to tell me how and why??

H2B works for a massive company but away from the *office* so having a plus guest is an easier option.

Little madam tis okay was just saying xx

Forgot to say thank you, all printed now with Name & guest ?

@ snuggle bum - I just read it completely wrong, I thought you were saying you had all these guests who you knew their names but were considering putting the lead name (ie: OHs friend) and then "plus guest" instead of the name even though you knew it.... It must be my Monday morning brain!

Back to what you were asking.....

I'd agree with BLS with the "and guest"

Snuggle-bum I have a few guests who I will be letting bring a guest of their choice out of courtesy as I know they may not know anyone else. I think I will put lead name plus guest on the invitation and lead name on the envelope.
