To write guests' names in RSVP card ahead? rude?

I think it would be okay. I have heard of brides writting names on RSVP cards, simply to avoid returned cards without a name or with illegible writting. It is a bit passive aggressive though.

I don't think it's tacky either; these are the two people I want to invite; them and them only. no kids, no subs, no additions.

I don't think it's rude. If anything, it's more convenient for the guests. They just check the appropriate box and send it back on its merry way!

I would do the same thing because I'm doing the same thing.

I'm doing the same thing on my invites.

I'm putting the exact names of those invited on the envelope and on the RSVP card I'm adding a "x amount of seats have been reservd for you"...I want to avoid people adding people that aren't invited.

I don't think it is tacky at all. I worry about people returning them without names and not having an accurate count.

I'm doing both just to be very clear. We're doing online RSVPs and the card that has instructions says Mr. Smith, we have reserved one seat in your honour. It may be a bit passive aggressive but it's also clear and sets expectations from the get go.

I did it and no one said anything to me, lol! It was after hearing so many complaints on here about brides getting rsvp's back that had no names on them that made me me decide to go ahead with it. We also had a buffet though so no one had to check a meal selection and we didn't have to deal with that portion with seating arrangements/place cards.

I asked this same question last week. I'm getting two sets of RSVPs some with one line, some with two. Then writing their names on them, so they can just check the box

I was thinking about this too! Personally, I want to do this so guests no not to bring uninvited/unwanted people!

I don't think it's rude. I did it so 1. People know who exactly is invited and 2. So I know who sent me back the card.

It's not rude. I didn't do it, but we invited whole families and didn't have an adults only wedding. We did however number the back of the RSVP cards in a discreet corner so if they didn't fill them out we'd know who sent it. You can also use a black light marker to write their names on the back if your worry is not knowing who it belongs too. It your limiting your guest list and have to stick to numbers, definitely fill it out. You'd be surprised how many people don't know that the M in front stands for too or what to do with the line.
