I think if I know someone well enough to invite them to my wedding, I'll know their SO's name and put it on the invitation so no "and guest" will be necessary. (Or they're an obligatory family invite, I'll be able to find that info out.)
OTOH, if you don't include "and guest" as an option for your single invitees, they're likely to RSVP for 2 anyway, so you may as well account for it when you're sending the cards out.

Really?? sheesh, people.
another hivemind question:
"upskill" real word or really horrible business speak.
incredibly horrible.
horrible. Plus it sounds like a combo of "upscale" and "Catskills"
OED claims it, but it is ugly and stupid and smells funny.
I vote "ew".
Horrible, although I kind of like its cousin "upsell," since it is such a pithy way to describe the whole "You want fries with that" thing.
"upskill" real word or really horrible business speak.
Dear god!
Is it meant to be a noun?
....surely not a verb?
I've been to a number of weddings where I wasn't closely connected to anyone who wasn't part of the wedding party - is that really that uncommom?
When it's someone who's part of your gang of old friends or you know the whole family or something, sure, a + guest is unnecessary and sometimes even awkward. If not, though, the prospect of being the lone single at a table of unknown couples may well be enough to make me decline the invitation.
