and here's the big ol' blank name spot!
I wrote my RSVPs in a way that that couldn't happen. I had two lines (I didn't invite more than two people from any one household), and I wrote the guest's names on the lines. Beside the names were two boxes, one for "Attending" and the other "Not Attending." This also ensured that there was no mistaking who was invited and who wasn't.
The bees are oh so smart. 
I took their advice and I bought the invisible pen from eBay and it works so great...I can't wait to use it!
I can't believe that people don't take the time to read instructions. As a teacher you'd think that I would be used to dealing with this...but adults should know better! We got one back that just checked the box "Can't Come" and a couple of others came back with names but no meal selection. Bah! It's not rocket science people! :P

Where can I find one of those invisible pens? I haven't had much luck so far!

Wow, piper, and they clearly took the time to painstakingly blacken in the entire circle! So sorry...

Thanks Rebecca! I work right across the street from one! Guess where i'll be going today!
I actually searched for one on the Container Store's website and it said they didn't have them anymore. Maybe they just have it in the store. Anyway, since I live nowhere near one, I ordered mine online.. $1.67 with free shipping. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.88 I ordered 2, just in case. I got the confirmation a few days ago that it shipped. Yey!

We ran out of time for the invisble pen so we used a regular pencil and maked the back with the initial of their last name and then a number. This way, if people noticed the numbering, they wouldn't feel slighted if they were number 115 instead of 1.
Yup- I've had two postcards come back so far with their attendance indicated, but no name. We numbered them with invisible ink, and it has worked great.
I did what MissBunny did. I printed a set of labels using my master guest list on Excel of each guest's name and address.
Then I put the labels on each RSVP envelope, so if the card came back balnk, at least the envelope would tell me who it came from!
May be a silly question, and I've probably missed the answer on here somewhere-
but how do you read the invisible ink?
Ginabean, you use a black light. It usually comes with the pen.
But, yes... Number your cards!!!! I actually didn't get any back blank, but since our invites were in Chinese and English, people put their Chinese names on the line. I can't read Chinese! :)
yeah, so number!
Here's the pen on eBay if you can't find a store near you: http://cgi.ebay.com/Invisible-Ink-Security-Marker-Spy-Pen-UV-Black-Light_W0QQitemZ250243958220QQihZ015QQcategoryZ20589QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Piperbenjamin - Does looking at the postmark help??? Give you an idea of where the response was mailed from which might help you narrow down who it could be?? Could help if you've got lots of out-of-towners or a big city.

nickyt, i tried looking at the postmark and that is a great idea! but it's from Wilmington DE and there are quite a few ppl coming from DE. it's also a single & there werent too many of those so that could help narrow it. im going to try to go down the list looking for singles in Delaware. altho that could be a mistake too, since they forgot their name they might have forgotten their spouse or family, too. doh. i feel like a crazy detective and all i can say is, if it's someone on my side, they're going down! lol

just as we finished assembling our invites, i remembered the advice i read on here numerous times about numbering rsvps, in case they came back without names or hard to read. FI & I agreed it was too much work to undo & besides, who would send it back without their name on it? well, someone did. i guess they were just too busy 'declining' to bother with their name. anyone else get any of these? what did you do?
