How do you word a plus-one on a save the date?

Keep the wording simple and consistent across all your save the dates. If you are unsure of your guest's partner's name, use 'and guest' rather than guessing. For a couple you know, address the envelope to both names. For a single guest with a plus-one, write their name and 'and guest'.

Save the dates are informal, so a friendly tone works well. You might add a line like 'We can't wait to celebrate with you' to keep the mood warm. Avoid putting too much detail here. The formal invitation will carry the exact seating and timing.

If your budget or venue limits plus-ones, it is fine to keep them for long-term partners only. In that case, address the envelope to the guest alone. Do not write 'no plus-one' on the save the date. Wait until the invitation to handle that politely.

Remember that save the dates are not legal documents. They simply help guests plan. Check GOV.UK if you need details about the legal ceremony later.
