  Either was is fine.  I think you should add the guest's name if you know it, or and Guest if you don't, so that Suzy knows she will be able to bring one in case she needs to start making travel plans.  Others say that's not necessary but to me, it just makes common sense.

  I would only put "and guest" if you know 1000% that you will be able to invite singles with guests.
  
  I've seen way too many posts about people who had final guest lists explode in numbers after the STDs were mailed .

  I agree with Danieliza, especially is she will be having to travel. Or you could always let it be known in conversation that she'll be able to bring a guest. That's what I did with our few single guests since we see them often - they mentioned that they'd received the STD and I said we hoped they'd be able to join us and they'd be welcome to bring someone.

  Thanks for all your responses!!!
  
  I'm def. putting guest names on the ones I know...but we have about 15-20 friends who are single now, but who knows what will happen by the time our wedding invites go out in the summer...if they get a significant other, we'd love to have them, but I also don't want our friends inviting another random friend just for the heck of it since we put 'and guest.'
  
  I like the idea to add in an extra note, I think I'll do that for a few. Thanks girls!

  For the people who we are inviting with a guest who aren't engaged or married, we might be putting "and guest" on the save-the-date even if we know the person they are currently dating because who knows what can happen between now and when the invitations go out. We would then put the guests actual name on the invitations if we know it. Although, we are in the strange situation of inviting almost all of the single guests with a guest because a lot of them are family or out-of-town and this was very important to FI.
