    What do you do when you know someone is in a rocky relationship and you want to start printing the invites? I don't want to print their names and then they split up and bring someone else but at the same time I can't put plus one as they will know something isn't right. I wanted to start doing the invites, place names and table plan etc but I'm just not sure what to do as it wouldn't look right if some one's name was scrubbed off and I put a new name down and I haven't got many spares. Advice please.

    I'm just thinking if I put plus one they will think I'm being rude or funny about things and I think it could make things worse as they would expect to be on the invite rather than a plus one. I know if someone gave my h2b an invite with plus one I would start to wonder when they know we are together as a couple.

    You could do what I did, our invitations didnt have names on at all, they were all exactly the same, the only difference was the envelope which I addressed personally to the couples, then if anything happens before the wedding the invitation is exactly the same and they could approach you about if they are inviting someone else as their +1. Tactful!

    Are they both your friends? And how rocky is the relationship? If it's just one of them that is just your friend then maybe you could just ask them,or put both names anyway if they are both your friends and would be attending anyway? if you still can't decide I'd agree and just put partner

    Basically one is my friend and I know the partner through nights out as we all go out as couples together so they feel like a friend now although I know if they broke up that we wouldn't see them again. The other is another friend where they split up with their partner and have got a new one but I haven't met them yet. I just know there would be eruptions if I were not to put their names on the invites as they would then know something wasn't right and I don't want to cause any trouble.

    I may have to. I'm just itching to get it all done now. Got everything ready and I want to play. I guess I could do the invites and just leave the inserts.

    That's what I've been doing Jo - been making my invites but I'll leave the invites until last minute, just in case I decide to change anything.

    Just tell them they all say "and partner" unless you're married already, or like someone else said, don't put any names on them :)x

    I would leave theirs until a later date and then see how things are going. If things are still rocky I would print the names and even if they still split before the wedding and met someone else, the new partner would just have to understand! Afterall, any relationship could split before the wedding especially if you send invites out a long way in advance. Did you find your duck egg blue and gold paper?

    i'm liking the "and partner" option. Say you ordered them online, and you had the option of "Plus1" or "&Partner" or you could only insert 2 first names to one surname (for married couples)
    just balg it. your friends wont mind, theyre your friends, and the partner wont notice <3 x
