Need advice re: Inviting guest plus one

It seems that with 3 months to the big day, I can't do anything but stress myself out and create more work for myself..

So I really don't care about my invitations, went to the store, bought a box of them and printed them out. They came out great and I thought i was ahead of the game... HOWEVER... these invites in a box come with 1. Invitation 2. Response card 3. Outer envelope and 4. Response card envelope.

My problem is that for those guests who we are having bring a plus one, how do I tell them that they can bring a plus one on the invite?
I already printed out the response cards and really dont want to have to print them again. they just say 'favor of a reply.. blah blah blah
m___________________

will attend
will not attend

There is no inner envelope to write 'John Smith and guest'. Can I put on the mailing label 'John Smith and guest'? Can I write on the response card ( plus 1) after the will attend? Or Do I just call them up and say listen.. you can bring a guest...? This is so confusing i'm getting stressed out just writing this!!
Any advice is helpful. sorry for the ramble.

IMO - you will be good with the address label...but i won't pretend to be an ace at this stuff!!

I think the best thing for you to do is just put 'John Smith and Guest' on the outer envelope... that's what I did and it got the message across.

Me too we just put '& Guest' on the address label and the response card says 'Accept with pleasure, number attending'

DONE. I have never received an invite like that before. Thanks for the advice.

My invites were the same way, no inner rnvelope. Even when I addressed it to the person and the person ONLY, they still felt they were entitled to bring guest (s). I don't think it makes one bit of a difference.
