Save the Dates

Lisaanna88

I recently purchased save the date magnets. Just a bit confused as to how to address them. I would of presumed If I was sending one to a couple I would put both their names and address on it and if someone was just on their own it would be their name and address on the envelope. In the proper invitation obviously it'll be them and guest . Is this going to cause offense and lead them to believe they won't have a plus one. I would of said surely people will know that is not the case!! But some people have suggested otherwise ! I need opinions on this please My head is fried lol

Will the names only be on the envelopes?

If you want to be sure you could addess it to "John Doe & Guest"?? It will look a little odd but at least they'll be no mixed messages.

yep on the save the date it's just our names and date . I was thinking that too but thought as well would it look a bit odd lol!

Could you put both names on the envelope and then use the address of the friend/family member. E.g. for your cousin John and his girlfriend Mary, address the envelope to John Murphy & Mary Whatever, John's House, Co. Wherever. I'm assuming that the magnets just have your wedding day details and not the guest name(s).

What do you do when you have a generic plus one invite rather than a named plus one invite i.e. leaving it up to the guest who they want to bring.

So if they are a married couple then this is fine put both names on the address envelope. with regard mentioning kids etc dont worry they will ask.

For people like couples I would say address it to the main person and then maybe in the inside put a note, cute postit, sticker whatever you like with both their names on it

I hate this. Myself and my partner have been together since we were teenagers (a lot longer than our friends getting married) and living together for about 5 years. There's been a few wedding save the dates and invitations that we've gotten recently that have only been addressed to one of us. If we were married it would be addressed to us both. It's our choice not to get married, but we've long come as a pair like a married couple. Sorry, it's just something that really bugs me.

Put that on the actual invitation when it goes out? These are only Save the Dates, presumably if invitations are sent out far enough in advance that will be enough time to invite a +1.

I think the OP is worried about her guests who will receive a plus one being put out because that wasn't stated on save the dates.

You might easily think you've been upgraded on the invite round to a plus one because of cancellations

Weddings are crazy, from what I've seen here! I'd make sure OP that somewhere on the save the dates that the guests with a plus one know about it.

There are no rights and no wrongs No matter what you do you will be bound to offend someone along the way so again just do whatever you feel like doing op

I have to completely agree with you on that one Scarepanda.

As it turns out we are now getting married but same as you we have been together since teenage years. Just because some people decide to get married after a wet week people treat them as more of a "couple"
