So it is officially the start of wedding season; or at least for me it is. I have several friends who are now in the process of planning there wedding nuptials, and all the fun festivities that go along with them. The joy of planning weddings!
Recently, I had a friend ask me about the etiquette in regards to how to handle the actual inviting of a guest when to include the “and guest,” and when not too. Here is my solution that I was taught and that I practice when in comes to art of invites.
When inviting your guest, if he or she is married, in a serious relationship, engaged, a member of your bridal party this is a way to thank them for standing by your side on your big day), etc., their invite should include the “and guest.” Now, I know that the guest list is the hardest part of planning, no matter the size of your event. So a good rule of thumb in my opinion, if you would expect to get an “and guest” from them, then you should include one for them as well.
In conclusion, when receiving an invitation to a party, dinner, wedding, etc, and the words “and guest” appears next to your name, feel free to invite a date!
