@Babesapien: On the response card you can put:
"We have reserved x seats in your honor
___ of x will attend"
That way they have a max number of people invited.
A lot of people write on the reply card "We have reserved # seats in your honor" or "__ of __ will attend" and then fill In the max you want
Just address the invitation to the person being invited ONLY... (not Mr & Mrs Sims and Family)
Also, your RSVP cards can have the person's name on it, or:
"__1__ seat has been reserved in your honor
_____ Accepts _____ Declines"
or something like that. I definitely would NOT put anything on the invitation.
We did our RSVP online. They can log in and answer yes or no for the specific people invited. There is no way for them to change the names or add extras.
I saw this in another forum and really liked it for response cards:
The favor of a reply is requested by June 6, 2011
Mr. John Smith
will attend________ will not attend_______
Mrs. Jane Smith
will attend________ will not attend_______
I wanted to do all of the rsvps online, but there are quite a few older guests that do not even use a computer. They are also the ones I'm concerned about bringing extra guests
@KatNYC2011: Genius! I can' tbelieve I never thought of wording it that way haha
Oh wow, this is really helpful. I'm having a really small wedding at our house, so, when I invite one person, they really can't bring another... because there are no extra seats! Looks like there are some really good options from the other bees. I don't know which one I'll be using, but I'll be using one of these for sure!
@Seaside: Right?! That's what I said when I saw it. There's definitely no room for adding people there.
With the __ of __ will attend options, how do you know which guests are coming? Say a family of 4, 2 of 4 are coming. Do they write their names somewhere? Otherwise how do you do escort cards without the names??
This is my response card - we simply have to fill in the second blank on will attend before we send
Now that is not to say that someone might not fill in 4 of 2 but then I feel it is my turn to pick up the phone and say I am sorry but the venue size is limited and while we would love to accomodate you - ummm NO!

I am a little concerned about people bringing extra guests to our wedding. I haven't made the invitations yet, so I'm thinking about adding a little claus on the response card that says something like this:
"Due to the intimate nature of our ceremony & reception, extra guests will not be permitted. We thank you for your understanding."
Or should I just list the names on the response cards with a "will attend" or "will not attend" and hope for the best.
