1. Plus 1 RSVP's

   

   Discussion by brittneywagner · June 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   Is there a non-rude way to put on the invites that Plus 1's are not ok....we are on a very tight budget and can't afford to feed all of the people that we would like to have invited, but are not able to. So the fear I have now is when I send the invites to my family that the older children will want to bring a guest or…

   1. Address the invitation to only the people you are invited. Mr. and Mrs. John Smith do not add "and family" if you're only inviting Mr. and Mrs. Smith. If they reply with their kids, or another guest, call them and politely inform them that you cannot accommodate extra guests due to budget/venue capacity/whatever. 2.…

   Ditto Jano. Put the names of the people who are invited on the envelope. If people RSVP with extras, you have to call and set them straight. Do remember that you have invite social units (ex. married/engageed couples). But, your 18 year old cousin's flavor of the week? Not necessary to invite.

   When I got married we were limited to 60 people because that's all the room would hold (we got married in a castle in the UK), so we had to start making cuts. If someone has a long term S/O you HAVE to invite them, but if they've been dating someone for a few weeks, you can invite only the friend. As others said, be very…

   First of all, only hit the post button once. Second of all, just address the invite to only those who are invited. If people RSVP for those not invited, just call them and explain to them that because of budget restrictions, only those on the envelope are invited. If your grandmother wants to invite people, she can pay for…

   Ditto Jano. Invite your guests specifically by name. Don't include anything ambiguous like 'and family' or 'and guest'. If you want to go a step further, write out the response cards so that those invited just check __accepts or __declines next to the name you filled in. When it comes to Grandma, unless she's paying, say,…
