I'll be attending a wedding soon in which I am bringing a guest who has absolutely no connection to the wedding or anyone going except me (yes, I was invited to bring a guest if I so desired.) I just realized this is the first time I'm bringing a completely "uknown" person to a wedding, so I'm not sure if I should include his name on the gift/card to the couple? Up until this point I always did because he would have been invited to the wedding himself anyway as he was usually closely connected in some way, as was I. So, is the card/gift just from me, or since they are "allowing" his attendance is it only polite to include his name with mine on the gift? Thanks.

Yes, it is proper to include his name on the gift. It shows that his good wishes go with it as well as yours.

If your guest is not contributing to the gift, and is only coming as your date - you do not need to include his name on the gift. The wedding couple won't know him and the thank you note will be only going to you anyway.

If it's a gift from both of you, then yes, include his name. Remember you don't need an invitation to give a gift.

You sign the card from both of you, whether or not he contributes. Otherwise, he appears to be a mooch who doesn't know enough to bring a gift and you appear to have shown up with a total stranger----why on earth wouldnt you put his name on the card??? lol

If he helped you purchase the gift (financially and/or physically) then his name should be on the card. If it was all you, then your name should be solo on the card.

I don't see why not.

You may add their name after you asked them. Or just leave it off and say nothing. Both would be appropriate.

If he contributed to the gift then put it on.
It really doesn't matter though.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. A toaster's a toaster.
