How do you say no plus-ones on a wedding website?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

State the rule simply and kindly, explaining that the event is for named guests only. Keep the tone warm so it does not sound like a refusal.

Put the message where guests look for details, such as the RSVP page or a FAQs section. Keep it short and friendly. You might say that due to venue capacity and budget, the celebration is for the names on the invitation only.

Avoid phrases that sound harsh, like 'no exceptions' or 'strictly'. Instead, frame it as a practical limit. Explain that you have planned carefully and would be grateful if guests respect the list. This helps guests understand it is not personal.

You can also add a line for those who are unsure. Tell them to contact you privately if they have a question. This shows you care and gives a safe way to ask without putting anyone on the spot.

Do not leave the RSVP open to adding guests. Set the form so it only allows the people named on the invitation. This prevents confusion and stops accidental double bookings. If someone asks later, reply with the same gentle message and stand firm.
