I'm wondering how do I address people with "guests" ? I know typically that goes in the inner envelope, but my home kit does not include one and we're not going to use one. I read that putting "Jane Smith and Guest" is kind of tacky, but then how does Jane Smith know she's allowed to bring her date? Should I just include the name of her date on there even if they don't live together?

I had the same problem with my kit and just ended up putting both full names on the envelope, that way there wasn't any confusion of who was invited, even if they didn't live together.

I have put "Jane Smith and Guest" on the outer envelope and did not use an inner envelope. I don't consider it tacky at all. If the person is single "and Guest" is appropriate. If you know they are engaged or married you could find out their SO's name.

Hi. There is no other way around it. You have to put it on the envelope. Otherwise, like you said, how is the person supposed to know they can bring a date? I have not read that (about it being tacky.) You will just have to do it that way.
Good luck!

We had a few single guests that we wanted to invite (but didn't know if they were dating or weren't sure of current status with relationships). We put "and guest" on them. One person brought her neighbor and one person brought her son. I think it is OK to say "and guest" if you don't know. We actually did that with one person that we couldn't remember his wife's name (and no one else could either and we didn't want to ask)!
