    I did not write the names (I was also inviting 150 guests). However, you can if you want to try to minimize uninvited guest additions. You are usually writing the names on the outer and inner envelopes, so people should know who is invited.

    Good point, thanks Hannah! Guess just more for etiquette reasons I didn't want to leave anything blank I shouldn't, thanks for the great advice!

    I don’t think you typically pre-fill names on the RSVP cards. If you were inviting a couple and only one of them will be attending, you want the couple to fill in just the name of the person attending.

    For our wedding, we put _____ seats have been reserved in your honor then we filled out that line before sending the invitations. Below that line we put M __________________________ which is where the person/people put Mr./Ms./Mrs. Last Name under that we put three different lines which are ______ Delightfully Accepts, Number Attending ______, and Regretfully Declines _____.

    Thanks Vanessa! This really helps too as our rsvp cards have same thing too, the M______ part was what I wasnt sure on but per everyone here it sounds like I can let our guests do it which totally works for me!

    You leave the line for names blank. But if you are worried about people adding extras you can put a line that says "We have reserved __ seats in your honor" and fill in the blank with the number of people invited. Some people may try to cross that out and add more, but that's when you have to speak up and say, nope, only 2 people were invited not 12! Good luck!

    Thanks FutureMrsK! Yes we decided we are allowing kids if ppl want but still just putting couple's names & hoping that gets the point across of what we prefer but its not a huge deal if they do. On our RSVP cards tho it has the M_____________ for names then # attending so I am leary of putting a # there in case only one of the couple can come or someone isnt bringing a plus one so that's why I am probably leaving blank, but thank you so much for the insight too!
