RSVP's name line

I've come to realize there is just not a right way to do these. Lol

I filled in the seats but not the names for reasons mentioned above.

I didn't put any names on the rsvps. Just who was invited in the invitation: I received an rsvp today and it said the couple and they wrote in their two kids, I was pissed thats rude

I didn't put the names in in case only 1 of the 2 is coming. I did number the backs. Are you worried about no names Or uninvited guests? We did an inner envelope that has the names.

We numbered the back of our response cards just in case people did not fill them out correctly.

I was going to number the backs but I guess I wanted people to know who was exactly invited and who wasn't. I just thought this would cut down on confusion but apparently not. Haha

We had a number of couples/families where only one person could attend or where they chose not to bring kids. i think filling out the names ahead of time would lead to confusion.

I'm thinking about doing this too. It's a way to reinforce who is invited (and who isn't) at let everyone know that the invites are non-transferable. I'm just worried about the amount of work involved.

I did this, below it I had a line that said ___of 2 attending. I wanted no confusion as to who was invited and didn't want to have to deal with people forgetting their names. That way if only one part of the couple could come they could note that. Then I had initial your meal choice at the bottom

I wouldn't. What if only one person out of a family/couple is able to do this? What about guests?

I wrote the return address for the guests on our RSVP envelopes. My mom handled all our responses so I didn't want her to have to match numbers. Wasn't necessarily needed - all 85 RSVP cards came back filled out appropriately!
