Hi, this might be a silly question and I'm sure it has been asked before, but I want to make sure I'm doing this right. I will be starting to address my save the dates soon, so I was wondering, do the names of people's significant others go on the save the dates?
Of course, we will include the names of spouses, fiances, and live-in/long-term partners on the save the dates. We are also inviting everybody's boyfriends and girlfriends, as well as inviting single guests with dates, but I wasn't sure whether to address the save the date to John Doe + girlfriend or just John Doe, especially if they've only been going out for a very short time.
I want all of our guests to know that their SOs are invited. The only reason I would think of leaving SO's names off is because some of these relationships are really new and they may or may not last and I know save the date = invitation. If I address the save the date to John Doe and Suzy Smith, and then John and Suzy break up six months from now, would that mean I still have to invite her because her name was on the save the date? Or is it understood that she was only invited because she was dating John and then it's ok to not invite her and to instead invite whoever his current girlfriend is?
Summary: I know I will be putting the names of spouses, fiances, and live-in partners on the save the dates, but I'm wondering about the names of boyfriends and girlfriends, especially those who have not been together very long. All SOs will be invited, but do I include their name on the save the date? If I include the names of BF/GFs on the STD and the couple breaks up, is it then ok to not invite the ex-BF/GF? Thanks for any feedback!
