That being said, this is just my opinion and personal experience.

There is a chance of an awkward conversation, but I find that to be pretty unlikely! By only having to communicate this with guests who aren’t clear on their invitation, you remove any chance of offending or confusing anyone else. (I’ll write another post soon on whether to add “plus ones” or not for your single guests) If it’s an extended family member, coworker, or friend of your parents, and you don’t feel totally comfortable “confronting” them, have your wedding planner reach out.ĭon’t get me wrong, this approach isn’t perfect either. If it’s a close friend or family member of the bride or groom, I would casually reach out and let them know that the invitation was for one and you hope they’ll be able to make it alone. In the unlikely chance that someone fills in “2” when only one was invited, deal with the situation then. This is traditional and I can’t imagine offensive in anyway. Instead? To solve your anxiety, but remain polite, add a space for guests to fill in how many will attend. However, most will – so it’s important not to offend or confuse anyone by putting extra information on the RSVP card. I’m saying they should, not that they will. The truth is, guests should know exactly who is invited by the way the envelope is addressed. Number attending _.” The couple would pre-fill in the first blank prior to mailing in an effort to be extra clear on who is invited to bring a guest and/or their children. I’m often asked to add a line on wedding RSVP cards worded something like: “We have reserved _ number of seats in your honor.

Couples are going above and beyond to make sure guests are aware who is and who is not invited, but sometimes the method of delivery isn’t the best. The thought of uninvited guests showing up on your big day would turn any bridechilla into a bridezilla.
