Plus ones.

eeyoring, 27 March, 2012 at 20:06 Posted on Planning 0 6

I have invited several people with the option for them to bring a guest. Can anyone tell me what is the etiquette for names of these guests on table plans, favours etc. Do I ask for the names well in advance? Is there a polite or usual way of doing this? I presume I don't put 'guest' on seating plan as that seems very rude. Please advise. Thanks.

    Erm not sure, wouldn't they provide the name of their guest when they rsvp?

    We aren't doing plus ones, if we don't know their name then they aren't invited so don't have this problem!

    Or if you can't get the names you could put 'Joe Bloggs Guest'?

    Wow thats really kind of you to let people bring plus ones! personally i would at least want to know their name if not meet them before they came to my wedding so maybe just ring round and double check names and dietry requirements? im guessing if you are putting a name card down they are invited to the full day? and will therefore need to confirm food etc with you! in my opinion it would be rude for them to turn up without telling you who they are bringing...

    If they can't give you the name of the plus one by the time you have to confirm numbers then the plus one can't be special enough to be added, I think....

    I do a lot of short contracts with work so meet a lot of one of people. I wanted to invite them but don't know the people they know and don't want them to feel bad coming alone or worse not come because they don't know anyone else. We're having a buffet so food is less of a problem the main issue is table plan. Though you're right maybe they will tell me when the RSVP.

    Not sure what the etiquette is but if I was invited to a wedding with a plus 1 I would make sure I let the couple know who that was when sending the RSVP.

    We are not likely to invite any plus 1's unless we know them but if I were you I would just ask the guests to confirm the details to you, shouldn't cause any issues.

    We've only had one guest with a plus one who we don't know the person they're bringing and they didn't give the name... not sure if that's because he's still deciding Smiley smile Anyway, OH will be contacting him to get a name. I think a quick email or call is fine if they don't tell you on the RSVP.
