Teppy, that has happened to me once or twice with invites, and TCG and I have been together 5 years. I usually assume they don't know his last name and are too lazy to call and find out.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd find that annoying too, Steph. Odd. I could see if it wasn't a close friend and didn't know The Boy's name or something. It's not right.
"Damn, she's only a tad bigger than me, but no stretch marks and shaped a lot nicer...".
She really does look lovely, meara. It is hard to imagine that she is only a tad bigger than you. Note to self: Never have a photograph taken ever again.

Yeah, she's your best friend! That's a little rude... but maybe she had people helping her address stuff?

Well, she took the trouble to e-mail to make sure she had my correct address to send the invitation to, so she could have asked what his last name is.
Grrrr.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Kinda gotta wonder if it is this one. I mean, that is a strange one to choose even if they are picking and choosing from Emily Post...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I usually think of "and Guest" as "take a friend along so that you'll at least know somebody there and have someone to dance with." If there's someone specific that you know the person will be coming with, then address to that person, too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That is grrrr I get all grrrr because I am 37 years old, and people still invite me (with no and guest) on my mom's invite. She apparently gets no "and guest" either!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would put "and Guest" with anyone dating/living together, not because I want to devalue their relationship but to add choice for the friend and not assume. They are giving you agency. The important thing is that YOU be there, and you can bring anyone you want, like your mom or George Clooney. Also, the wedding is a ways away and (God forbid) you should break up between now and then. So this way, you are covered and you can bring whoever you damn well please.
