Default Should I address significant others of invited guests by name on wedding invitations?

I plan to send out wedding invitations soon. I have a few guests who have significant others but are not married or engaged to them. When I send the invitation, do I include the name of the significant other or just address them as "guest?"

My cousin has been cohabitating with his girlfriend, but do I address her by name on the invitation? They are neither married nor engaged, nor are planning on it anytime soon.

I have a cousin who has a pretty serious boyfriend at the moment but is not engaged. Should he be mentioned by name?

I also have a distant relative who has been dating her boyfriend for 12 years. He comes to all family events, they live together but are not engaged or married or plan to anytime soon. Should he be addressed by name given that I'm not inviting him directly but only through my distant relative?

If the person you are inviting has been with their significant other for a long time, you should put both names on the invitation. If it's not a serious relationship, just use & guest.

If they are not married, then it is not necessary to address them by name. Just add "and guest".

I put both names on my wedding invitations....it looks sorta rude if you put "Cousin Mary and guest" when they've been together for a zillion years- you know "Cousin Mary's" SO, right? When you see him at family functions, you call him by name, right? Think of it that way...it makes no difference if they are not married. I would only put "and guest" for someone that you are inviting who may not be dating someone, but you would like them to bring someone if they wish so that they are more comfortable at the wedding, and not sitting there alone.
Seriously, how would you feel if your fiance's cousin sent you an invite and wrote "and guest" even though you hang out with the couple every Christmas???? Put yourself in their shoes.
Good Luck!

It shows far more respect if you do put the significant other's name on the invitation, especially if you know them fairly well.

If they have been together for so long, then it would much better if you included the name.
