Short answer
Yes, if your invitation says "and guest" or your RSVP includes a space for a plus one. Otherwise, the answer is no, and your FAQ should say so kindly.
This FAQ is really about setting expectations. If you are allowing dates, write: "Yes, you may bring a guest. Please add their full name when you RSVP so we can include them in seating and catering." If you are not, write: "We are keeping our wedding to close family and friends, so we can only welcome the guests named on your invitation. We hope you understand." You can add a gentle reason, like "Our venue has limited space" or "We want to keep the day personal". Avoid saying "no plus ones" in a harsh way. Instead, frame it as a positive choice. You might also add a note: "If you have any questions, please get in touch." This helps guests feel heard. Remember, some guests may travel far and expect a date. Be consistent across all guests to avoid hurt feelings. If you have a few exceptions, keep them private and do not mention them in the FAQ. The FAQ is for the general rule. You can also add a line about children if relevant, like "We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration." Keep the answer short and clear, and put it under a heading like "Can I bring a guest?"
