    I'm also wondering if anyone can provide words of wisdom regarding RSVP cards. Do I NEED to include a "We have x seats in your name"? Any other tips for making it fool proof?

    It's totally up to you whether you want to include the line about how many seats you are reserving for them. If you are very budget or space specific, you may need to limit the amount of guests brought. Some people only allow a +1. If you have guests with kids though you have to figure out exactly how many kids they'll likely bring and figure that into the amount of seats you are "reserving" for them. The other reason to do this is if you are planning to have specific seating for your guests. I have not included a line like this because A) I want my guests to be able to bring a date if they want, or their kids and B) I don't really care where they sit at the reception!

    Another tip regarding RSVPs is to number them and keep track of who got what number. That way if you get an RSVP back from someone who didn't include their name, you'll know who it is!

    Your wording all sounds great though!
