How To Say No Plus Ones On Wedding Invitation?

To say no to plus-one requests at a wedding, it is important to clearly define the request on the invitations and save the dates. Address guests’ names correctly and state that they are allowed to bring a plus one to the event. Prioritize guests based on their proximity to the venue and limit the number of guests. Address all names on invitations, including spouses and non-married couples.

When designing wedding invitations and RSVP cards, swap the term “plus-one” for “invited guest” to add formality.

Addressing wedding invitations to the exact invitees is crucial for a tight budget. For couples in a partnership, use both names, while single guests should use their name followed by “and guest.” For guests not receiving a plus-one, address it to their name. To make it clear that no one gets a plus-one, address the invitation to the guest’s first and last name without adding “and guest”. This allows the guest to understand the invitation is directed towards them.

Additionally, add a line to RSVP cards that states “While we would prefer keeping the guest list for the ceremony intimate, we welcome your plus ones at the.” When addressing invitations to only the invited people, it is easier to handle the situation. When there is no plus-one, address the envelope to that person only. If there are no other names listed, that means there is no “plus one” being conveyed.
