rsvp Cards: __ guest(s) of __ attending

Hello! Hoping for some input. We already printed our RSVP cards and used this language at the bottom: "__ guests of __ attending." We plan to hand-write the second number for each card, which refers to the total number of seats that we reserved. We were hoping it would add clarification on plus ones, but now I'm thinking it might cause some confusion when they see the word "guests". Has anyone done this before?


I have a lot of teenage cousins who are in relationships, but we're only giving plus ones to those who are engaged or married. I'm worried if they see "__ guest(s) _1_ attending," they might think we gave them a plus one. Am I over-thinking this, or should I reprint the cards to say:


We have reserved __ seat in your honor.

__ guest(s) of __ attending

    We put "1" and no one thought it meant a plus one, they assumed it just meant them! We had one person cross out the "1" and put "2" then refuse to tell us the name of their plus one or tell us if they even planned on coming....it was a very extended family member (not even...my husband's stepmom's brother) so she ended up telling him just not to go since he was being so weird. So regardless, you'll end up with some situations where you'll have to probably say "sorry they can't go". I think it will help if you address envelopes to the specific people invited too.

    This is helpful, thanks so much! Eases my mind a bit. We'll definitely address the envelopes to specific people as well.

    I think the way you have it is fine. some people may or may not be confused no matter how clearly we can try to make it be.

    We did that on our RSVP cards to avoid surprise guests. So far the only complaint has been from one of my cousins because she can't bear the thought of being away from her boyfriend for a night and is now threatening not to come.

    Bye Felicia! Smiley xd

    I put the names of the invited people on the RSVP cards and still had some “dumb” stuff occur.

    Sorry Cuz, we’ll miss you. We will have to get together once the Wedding/Honeymoon is over (or the Sky turns Green).

    Her argument was our cousin Sally, who just got married a few week ago, let her bring her emotional support boyfriend.
    I countered with, “that’s all well and good; but her in-laws paid for their wedding and I don’t have their bank account”.
