Portuguese term or phrase: acompanhantes

How do you say acompanhantes in English, like children, dates, etc who are not personally invited to a wedding?

English translation:guests

Explanation:
This could be used as a general term to refer to all of these categories of people. 'Companion' or 'date' are more restrictive. The recipient of the invitation is also a guest, but he/she may also bring a guest or guests.

friends and family

Explanation:
e.g.
"“Friends and Family” means personal friends and relatives of the sponsoring
NAWCC Member, who are not members of his/her Immediate Family. They are GUESTS
who are not NAWCC Members, who have been personally invited and sponsored to
attend a NAWCC Chapter meeting that includes a Mart and/or Auction, and they are
NOT walk-ins."
