Invite question

We are using handled mason jars with names labeled on them. Kind of like this..

Some guest will be with a plus 1 and we won't know the name of that plus one to be able to llabel the mug for that person. Is it okay to ask in the invite for the name of the plus 1?? If not then how can I mark the mug to let that plus one person know it's specifically for them?

    On your response card where the guest writes their name, they will probably fill it in anyway. To make it more clear, maybe you could prefill the name with a spot left for the guest.

    So instead of M________________

    You could put Mr. John Smith and ___________________

    Or you could always just leave however many jars you need blank with a piece of chalk with them, and the guests can fill in their own name.

    I would probably just leave all the jars blank with chalk handy, and have extras in case people misplace theirs.

    I would not write something like "Please tell us the name of your plus one" on the invite.

    Is this a favor of some kind, or just to keep their beverages all night?

  • In the M. _____________ line on the RSVP most people will fill in their guest's name. If they don't, it's fine to call and ask, or to guest use one mug with Ms. soandso and guest written on it if you can't get in touch with them.
  • when  you get the RSVP, if they don't give you a name on it I'd call and ask for it.

    This. Assign tables, not seats, and have chalk on them for everyone to write on the labels.

  • I'm guessing the mugs will act like placecards so they would be assigning people a table not a seat.  You carry your mug to your seat.  Correct me OP if I am wrong.

    If you have the M._______, people will fill that in so you'll know who their plus one is.  You may still have to call anyways since people will forget to fill that out either way.
  • Thank you every one for the advice. I will leave it blank and have pieces of chalk unless the person fills out the response card. It is also a favor that every one will (hopefully) like and take home.
