Plus-One
Plus-One: A guest invited along with a primary invitee, often unnamed on the invitation.
A plus-one is an additional guest a primary invitee can bring. Whether to give plus-ones — and to whom — is one of the most contested decisions in wedding planning. The standard etiquette is: married, engaged, or long-term partners always get plus-ones; single guests get them based on context (whether they will know other people, headcount budget, etc).
