Guest name help please!

would just put guest on it hun, as this is the 5th time of changing who's she is bringing with her

I agree with Rockred. Your other guests won't notice there's no picture.

Guest stuff can drive you crazy. My H2B announced to me yesterday that his friend was having boyfriend troubles and had asked about our venue's accommodation policy cos she wasn't sure she'd still be using the room. We have to take the table plan this morning!!!! But it's ok, she tells us to just leave his name on there and she'll 'try and find someone to bring along'. Great. Not only have I never met her...we will also be paying to feed and amuse a randomer that we don't even know the name of. This all comes from a 40-something woman who I think should probably have more social savvy than this!

Why is she bringing a guest at all if she doesn't have a permanent partner??? I would just put "guest of (sisters name) and not bother with a photo

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks all,

I shall call them guest!

There is nothing you can do and it would not at all appear rude. Your sister was responsible for giving you a name and notice, due to this. The only person the 'guest' will know is responsible is your sister as that is what I always take it to mean when I am written as guest at a conference or wedding, that my office or OH/Family has not sent on my details in time.

I'd probably make a joke of it and use a blacked out person shape and call them secret agent or witness protection!

Don't mean to derail your thread but in a similar vein, I found out at the weekend through casual conversation that my bridesmaid has been planning to bring her boyfriend to the wedding, but hadn't told me about it (they were broken up when I posted her invite, and I verbally told her that due to space restrictions we could only give her a plus one if others RSVP'd no), AND that another mutual friend (her housemate and ex, long story) had told his new girlfriend that she was invited, and they have all booked accommodation together, despite him never even RSVP'ing (bridesmaid just told me verbally that she and he were coming - no mention of partners!!) - and he didn't have a plus one either! (no-one did if they didn't have/we didn't know their partner). Of multiple singletons invited, they're the only ones (we know of) who just assumed they'd have a plus one - makes me want to doublecheck with all the singles now!! Where did they think their partners were going to sit/how did they think they were going to be fed if we had no idea they were coming?? It boggles my mind. To top it off, it all came out because BM in question now doesn't want to sit on the top table, b/c she'd be separated from boyfriend and he doesn't know anyone else at the wedding. Ridiculous, but she can have her way b/c I'm not having someone I've only met once sitting on my top table just b/c they can't be apart for 2 hours!!

Anyway, back to your thread - I almost ordered name tags printed up last week, glad I hadn't now! As suggested, just put "guest of [sister's name]" and leave it at that. Altho if you haven't given final numbers to the venue yet I'd be tempted to withdraw her plus one if she's having such trouble filling it!
