Addressing invitations???

I know formally when sending out wedding invites and you are extending a plus one you are supposed to address the envelope to Ms. Jane Doe and Guest. Would it really be that big of a deal if I did not do that? Our RSVP cards have a place where I specify how many seats are reserved. So it it fairly clear how many people are invited. For example the envelope would say Ms. Jane Doe, and the RSVP card says "we have reserved 2 seats in your honor". Is that okay? Or will people be confused?

I think people would be confused, you should address the envelop so that people really know they are getting a plus one. If you don't address the envelop with + guest and put reserved 2 seats they might think its a mistake

I agree that this would probably confuse people. I know I would be.

You will probably run into people thinking they don’t get a plus one. So they may ask you (which many consider rude) or decline.
I’d write “and guest.”

People take their cue on who is invited based on how the invitation is addressed. I would be very clear that a Guest is included in the address.

As a guest, I would be confused. What is the reason you want to omit the "and guest" portion? It doesn't cost more to add it on.

Most formal invites have an outer and inner envelope. So I guess you could put "Mr. John Doe" on the outer one, then "Mr. John Doe and Guest" on the inner one.

Unless you clearly indicate it on the envelope, guests will be confused by the number of seats allowed if you only address people individually.
