Hello! New here…

We’re going to be working on the invitations for our wedding shortly, however with where we chose to have our reception, the guest numbers are limited. What is a polite way to mention that we can’t have any extra guests? Besides addressing the invites specifically to the particular guests invited, or is that enough and contact them if we have a problem with the RSVP amounts? I just want to make sure, I know that not everyone who is invited will attend, but we may be maxed out because of where we chose to go. Any advice would be helpful. I’ve never been to a lot of weddings myself so I’m not really sure where to begin with this one.

Thanks!

I would be very specific on your address labels, and on the RSVP card leave a spot like this:

We have received 1 seat in your honour.  ____ of 1 will be attending.

                                                           ____ of 1 regretfully declines.

Something along those lines…

There is no polite way to mention who is NOT invited. 

Invite your guests by name, and if you are really worried do as @MademoiselleL mentioned and put the # of seats reserved.

If there is any guest you are especially worried about you can mention it in casual conversation.

@MademoiselleL:Sounds good, thanks for the advice. I think that should about cover it.
