Plus one invite wording

Queen_B_3

Hello everyone

The time has come for us to now send out our evening invites. I have quite a lot of friends who are single and I'd love to have them all bring a guest with them. I've heard that to write 'and guest' is not appropriate so was wondering what everyone else is doing or suggestions, thanks

We wrote 'and guest'. I think its better than plus one, and makes it clear that they can bring someone, even if it's not a date. I went to a wedding recently in Sydney, and since my partner couldn't make it my friend came instead.

Thank you for that.

Ive never heard before that its not appropriate to say guest. I wouldnt be offended if I received that. Have to say though that if any of my guests aren't in a relationship they will be getting invited on their todd!!

Ive not heard of 'and guest' not being appropriate

Seems the best thing to do to me

We put 'and guest', don't think there's anything wrong with it!

We had a small wedding, so knew everyone who was there.....I have never heard of "plus one" being inappropriate, but personally I would put "and guest".

We put X & guest too.

I used 'and guest' (felt it was a bit less business like than +1) - nobody made comment & I've never heard it was inappropriate...

Only problem might be if you use 'and guest' and they've been with a partner for a long time... I had a couple of people that I discretely checked before hand as they were in on/off long term relationships and I wasn't sure if they would prefer 'and guest' or their 'on/off's name.
