Well, Miss Manners doesn't agree with this.
Actually she does, because she was saying the same thing as me! As I said, we simply don't know - and almost certainly the aggrieved husband didn't know either - whether his SIL's invitation had identified her 'plus one' by name or not.
I believe what Twik was stating is use of "Ms Sharon Stone
& Guest" is not appropriate per Miss Manners on formal invitations. All guests should be invited by name. If you have a single guest and want to allow them to invite a partner, you contact them and ask whom you should include on the guest list and obtain that person's address. I know this rule well because my DH was forced by his mom (I stayed out of the argument) to contact about 10 frat brothers to find out if they wanted to bring a date and if they did, the name of the date. He was not pleased. But it also kept down the random stranger at our wedding. We had seen a couple of these guys meet a girl one weekend and drag her to a wedding the next and then we'd never see her again. If the guy didn't know the name of his "date" 8 weeks before the event, you can be pretty sure it's not a committed relationship.
