  Umm I'm not a 100% sure but can't you just address the outer envelope as Miss Jane Doe and include a nice handwritten note letting Ms Doe know that she is welcome to bring a guest?

  I ended up doing two different things.  When I was starting out writing the invites, I put in a note, letting the person know they were free to bring a guest.But by the time I'd had most of my invites in the mail, and we were just waiting on a name from some of FI's cousin's that we were inviting (no one would get back to us, it was ridiculous) I ended up writing "and Guest" on the envelope, more as a slight to them than anything...Petty, yes, I know.

  
  We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  I'm not a fan of "and guest" on an outer envelope. We didn't have inner envelopes either so I just addressed the invite to our guest:Miss Sally Smith...and then informally let her know with a phone call that she was welcome to bring a guest. Single invitees that chose to bring a guest simply added the name to the RSVP card along with theirs:Miss Sally Smith and Mr. Michael Jones

  I ran into this problem, but I just put "and Guest" on the outter. You don't have a lot of choice when you don't have an inner envelope

  You could do a space for it on the response cards. Maybe say: Jane Doe: Attending ____ Regrets _____ Guest: Attending _____ Regrets _____ So she understands she gets a guest and she can just check off if they'll be attending or not?
