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
Go to Guests and find the guest
Click to edit their details
Check Add a +1 (use the + and − buttons next to it to allow more than one)
Click Save
To give every guest a +1, go to RSVP > Form, click Settings, and check Allow +1s.
How guests add their plus one
When a guest with a +1 RSVPs:
1. Once they mark themselves as attending, they see "Are you bringing a +1?"
2. They enter their plus-one's first and last name
3. The plus-one is added to your guest list as a confirmed guest in the same household, with the note "Added by" and the inviting guest's name
4. The inviting guest's +1 allowance goes down by one, and 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:
- Click the Has +1 tab on the Guests page to see guests with a +1 they haven't used yet
- Review plus-ones added during RSVP (their notes say who added them)
- Edit or remove plus-one permissions any time
Tips
Plus-ones increase your guest count - plan accordingly
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
A named plus-one you add yourself should go in the same household so they appear on the same RSVP form
