Wedding invite etiquette

Got invited to a friend's wedding. Does not say my name and guest. Would it be wrong to bring a date?

nah...bring one

ask first

I would think it is implied. Ask to be certain.

Ask first or don't bring one

Does the RSVP card have a ___ # of guests attending?

Numbers may be tight. If there is no plus 1 it's probably on purpose. Don't put them on the spot by asking if the invitation didn't offer.

Who are you thinking about bringing?
Ask one of your friend's going to the wedding what they think about the plus +1

If the inside envelope just says: Mr. Sally Wheeler, then he isn't supposed to bring a guest.

The RSVP says # of guests attending. But I do know a lot of people usually say "x" and guest on the envelope inside. I kind of think I may have been one of the last invitees to make the cut, so I understand if it would be just me invited. But I'd like to bring my s/o.

This. If they wanted you to have a plus one it would have said "and guest" on the invite.
ETA: I assume they know you have an SO. Etiquette still says it should be addressed "and guest" if they wanted you to bring her. Have yall been together long?

Traditional etiquette says you explicitly write who you want invited. Children are not invited unless the invitation states "family".. dates are not invited unless guest is given a plus one.
That said, I don't know your friend and they might just be unaware this is how it goes.

they might not have known he had someone to bring as a date
just ask if it's ok, I'm sure they won't care

That's exactly how we are doing it

Usually if you only want one person to attend, you fill it in for them so they get the idea.
"We have reserved 1 seat in your name" or something.
But without it being addressed with a plus-one, that's a toughie. Just ask.

bring two girls to the same wedding. Make sure you wear different outfits for each so you have to change wardrobes whenever you switch back and forth.

Yea I know when we were getting close to our max number and were inviting her sorority sisters and HS friends, if we hadn't met their s/o (which meant they had recently started dating) or they were not in a relationship at the time they didn't get a plus 1

Yes, but if the person is not with anyone at the time, often "guest" is not used.
Either way, ask. Or you might have an angry bride
