addressing STDs

HeatherR45 · February 2012

For the guests that I will be giving a plus one at the wedding, should their std be addressed "and guest" or does it not matter?

I don't think it matters but that's just my opinion. I personally did not address them as "and guest" and plan to for the invitations.

I didn't put "and guest"- my general rule was if they were living together, married, engaged or in a long-term relationship, I put both names on the invitation, but otherwise it was just the primary person invited. I put and guest on the invites, and I did put "and guest" for a friend in Arizona so she could make appropriate plans.

If I knew they were in a serious relationship, I went out of my way to find out the name of their significant other and put it on the envelope. If they were single but I was planning to give them a guest, I just told them via Facebook.

For our STD's we just did the guests name. If they are getting a +1 for the wedding we left that off for the STD's.

If they were an established couple (been together for awhile, engaged, etc.) we put both of their names on the STD's.

GL!

<div>Ditto. It's rude to address a SO (bf/gf/wife/hub/etc) as 'and guest', but if the guest is single and you're offering them a +1, then it's ok to use for the invites. For STD's I'd keep it to just the guests (no 'and guest'), but making to sure to include the SO's name. Partially bc situations (and your #s) can change - guests who were single at the mailing of the STD may get into relationships and require a +1, and if your #s are tight this could mean taking away a +1 to a truly single guest.</div>

I don't think it matters, I just did mine and there are only a few people this matters for in our wedding. I did include and guest if they are going to be getting an invitation with a guest just so they know now. Kind of a heads up!

I did NOT put +1s on STDs. You might find budget problems later, in which case you might decide to cut out +1s, but then you can't if you sent STDs with +1s.

I only added names of S.O. if they were married/engaged/living together. I agree with PP, you may decide to drop the +1 when it comes time to send out invites.
