plus ones
Unnamed event attendees
Plus ones are the guests that invited people bring to events.
Wedding invitations often specify whether plus ones are welcome, meaning attendees may bring a date or companion.
The term extends to any social gathering where bringing an additional person is permitted: Is this a plus-one situation, or just me?
A plus one can also be the person brought: I'll be her plus one at the gala.
