If you are a couple and one gets invited to a wedding what is the proper educate for this(wedding invite )?

If only one gets invited, then only one RSVP's to attend or not. If only 1 person was invited there is probably a reason like they didn't know you had a significant other, they can't afford (space or $) for two people to be invited, or maybe they don't like your significant other and don't want that person at their wedding.





My fiance was invited solo to a wedding. I wasn't offended. He attended and had a great time!

Most people invite only one person if they don't know that person is in a serious relationship. Otherwise they would invite you and a guest. I would call to RSVP and let them know you would like to bring a guest.
Reply:Your "yous" and "ones" are all discombobulated! Which is understandable - wedding planning is tough! Are you the bride or the guest?





If you're the bride:


1) If you want to invite two of your friends who are dating and living together, send them one invitation. Address the envelopes (outer %26amp; inner) to both of their names (first %26amp; last) like this "Mark Martinez %26amp; Sattya Smith."


2) If you want to invite two of your friends who are dating and not living together, send them two separate invitations to each of their houses. One envelope will say "Mark Martinez" and the other will say "Sattya Smith" so they each get their own invitation sent to their own address.


3) If you want to invite a friend of yours who you know is dating someone seriously, and you know his date's name, but maybe you've never met her (assuming your friend is the guy, but this works either way), I suggest sending your friend's invitation to his house, but include her name on the invitation. Address the envelopes (outer %26amp; inner) to both of their names (first %26amp; last) like this "Mark Martinez %26amp; Sattya Smith."


4) If you want to invite a friend of yours who is dating someone casually or not dating anyone at all, and you would like him to be able to invite a date to your wedding, you send an invitation to Mark that says "Mark Martinez" on the outer envelope and "Mark Martinez and Guest" on the inner envelope. This lets Mark know that he can bring a date.


5) If you want to invite a friend of yours but you DON'T want him to bring a date, you send him an invitation that says "Mark Martinez" on both the inner %26amp; outer envelopes. Not writing "and guest" is supposed to clue the guests NOT to bring a guest - just to warn you, a lot of people don't know this %26amp; might bring someone anyways. Also, if your friend is married or in a serious relationship, you SHOULD invite his wife/girlfriend, and you should try to find out her name and put it on the invitation (see above examples).





If you're the guest:


If you're in a relationship, and you're invited to a wedding, you can look on the invitation to tell whether or not you're supposed to bring a guest. Does the wedding invitation have both your names on it? If so, obviously you're both invited. Or does it say one of your names "and guest" on the inner or outer envelope? That means that you can both come - just RSVP for two. But if only one of you got the invitation and it doesn't have "and guest" listed on the invitation, it's confusing as to whether the host really only wants one of you there or didn't know how to properly address the invitations for both of you to come. So I would have the person who is invited call the host to clarify if both of you are invited. Etiquette suggests that if you are in a serious relationship or married, you should both be invited. But I would clarify this with the bride/groom. It is rather rude to only invite one person, but as far as how rude it is and what to do about it, that is up to you...I think if you're married and both people are not invited, I probably wouldn't go. If you're not married, I wouldn't make a big deal of it.





Good luck - hope that helps!
Reply:For the couple to both be invited the invitation would have to read " Mr(s) So SO and guest.





If it does not have and guest written on the invitation envelop then the person who was invited is the only one that is invited to go.
Reply:Usually, if one person, your bf, I'm assuming, is invited, they're allowed to bring one guest. Does the invitation have his name with "and guest"? If it does, then he'll take you. If it doesn't, the proper thing to do would be to ask the bride/groom if he's allowed to bring a guest.
Reply:I think I understand what you mean?!





If you have been with this person a long time (ie more than 6 months and it is serious and others know about it) then it is bad etiquette for the invite to be only addressed to you. HOWEVER since the invite IS only addressed to you, you are the only one able to go to the wedding. It would be highly rude of you to invite someone that is not invited.





If you really feel like your partner should be invited I would suggest ringing the couple or their parents and asking (politely) if you would be able to bring him.... but don't expect them to say yes. If they just simply made a mistake then they won't mind you asking though.
Reply:make ur question more clear i cant under stand you
Reply:Call and ask if your significant other may attend.
Reply:Does not compute. Try re-wording this.
