How do plus ones work?

Allow certain guests to bring a date or companion to your wedding.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: Enable plus-one for specific guests in their profile, and they can add their guest's name when they RSVP.

Enabling plus ones

  1. Go to Guests and find the guest
  2. Click to edit their details
  3. Check the Add a +1 checkbox
  4. Click Save

How guests add their plus one

When a guest with a +1 RSVPs:
1. They see an option to add a guest
2. They enter their plus-one's name
3. The plus-one is added to your guest list
4. Both are counted in your attendance

Named vs unnamed plus ones

Named plus-one:
- You already know who they're bringing
- Add them as a separate guest in their household
- They appear by name in your guest list

Unnamed plus-one:
- The guest chooses who to bring
- They add the name during RSVP
- The person is added to your list after RSVP

Managing plus ones

You can see who has plus-one privileges:
- Filter guests by plus-one status
- Review plus-ones added during RSVP
- Edit or remove plus-one permissions any time

Tips

  • Consider who really needs a plus-one
  • Single guests in relationships often appreciate plus-ones
  • You can add the plus-one's name later if you learn it
  • Plus-ones should typically be in the same household for RSVP
