When I send out the invitations I address it to the people that I invited. I wrote out the names. If it was a couple I wrote Mr and Mrs. To the single people I just wrote out their names. On the response card it has M______________.
________will attend
Many are responding with writing Miss or Mr Name then will write 2 will attend. I didn't account for an extra guest. Was that wrong for me to expect that I thought since I didn't address it to friend and guest that the person would not include a guest
Whatever name(s) you listed on the inner envelope (or outer if there was no inner) were the people to be invited. Only those people should have responded so it was your guest who was being improper. If there aren't too many of these type of responses, and you can fit it into your budget, then maybe you won't want to make an issue of it. However, if you are limted financially or with your seating then a phone call to the guest is in order. Politely let them know that your seating is limited and you would have loved to invite their guest as well but you just don;t have the room. Honestly is always the best plicy, if told properly.
