should you write "and guest" on save-the-date address?

For people who you are planning to ask to bring a guest if they so choose--do you indicate that on the save-the-date envelope, or do you save that for the formal invitation?  Or do you just do the person you are inviting on BOTH envelopes, and indicate "plus 1" or something on the invitation response card?  Sorry, I'm so confused about how exactly we're supposed to do this!

We didn't write and guest but contacted them specifically to let them know they are welcome to bring someone. We only had a couple people on our list who fell into this category because we didn't include +1s for most of our single guests -- only a few out-of-towners who'd literally know no one else.

NOOOOO!! In my experience you should NOT do this. Save the "& Guest" for the invitation because once their names are on the StD you HAVE to invite them. Some people may break up and some may begin new relationships. Also, if you are planning on giving "& Guest" to singles, wait to see what happens with your wedding guest list. In our case we sent out a lot of StDs and then found ourselves needing to cut people. We couldn't cut the ones that received a StD so that made things really tough.

Ditto lopezalonso.  Also, an STD is merely an announcement that your wedding is taking place on a specific date, not an invitation, so there's no need to include "and guest."  You could change your mind about including a guest by the time you send invitations, so you need to leave yourself flexibility.

I agree with others, save it for invitation. If its an out of toner or someone u anticipate bringing a guest, then give a call.
