I want to know who is ordering what dish.
I found this picture and wanted to have lines like this. My problem is that the largest family invited is 7 people, so I need 7 lines. Will people think that this means they can fill up all the lines with other guests?
That would not be good, but I really think this is the best way to do it!
OR could I maybe write the names on the RSVP card before I send them? That would be like, MAJOR HINT.

I’m putting names on my RSVP’s so that there will be no confusion as to who is invited! I don’t want people I may not even know coming to my wedding which is a possibility if you leave the lines blank.
Sidenote: Does anyone know what that script font is on those RSVP cards??

I’d totally write names in. Although I think you’ll find that even if you write names in that you’ll have people adding extra people in the empty lines. I’m almost tempted to say can you just get 1 RSVP printed with 7 lines for the family of 7? Or can you break the family of 7 down into a group of 4 and 3? (Like, parents and kids or something?).

Usually how people will do RSVP cards is have small lines in front of each meal preference, and then people will initial each meal preference:
AB, GH Chicken TR Fish RE, BG Steak
That way you know who exactly ordered what.
To prevent people from adding extra people, we had this printed on our RSVP:
____ seats have been reserved in your honor
And then we filled in the number of seats. Worked like a charm. Not a single guest added extra people.
The line system seems fine, too, but it just looks like so much extra work to write in everyone’s names.

@littlemissmoo: You know.. That might make more sense. Myabe I can just print out cards for each family. AND write the names in. I really don’t think it gets more obvious than that, but I know some idiot is gonna invite someone not invited hahaa.
Good idea!
