Is it rude to put this on your RSVP cards?

Its not rude. I did it. I also did______ out of ______ will attend. Lol FH family brings random extra guest all the time. I had strangers at my bridal shower lol they didnt bring a gift, barely spoke because they didnt know me and they went home with some really nice favors and game prizes

I did it. It is uncommon in my area and some people didn't like it, but it made things a little easier (and very amusing when people changed the numbers).

I did it and it eliminated any drama with plus one's. I would do it again.

That's what we plan to do! Otherwise our guest list would likely double.

My RSVP card would not be complete without that line. It was a MUST for us.

We did online RSVPs, through our wedding website. We listed all the name's in the RSVP function, so no one could enter an uninvited guest. If someone wished to invite a date, we entered that specific name in, too.

We had already addressed the save the dates with the names of those who were invited. The parents of my husbands cousins, who were under 21 and not invited, were informed of it beforehand. (Legal drinking age here is 21. Those cousins were all under 18). One couple was thrilled to get the night off from parenting (told my Mom so), and stayed overnight at the hotel where our wedding was held.

One couple did not get the StD magnet, because we knew they wouldn't put it on their refridgerator, since their kids weren't invited. They had bullied their kids' way into going to another family member's adult only wedding. Since it was one of my father's relatives, he sent them an e-mail which was essentially a powerpoint slide of our StD, that included the words "Adult guests 21 and over." They were the only guests who needed something like that. Of course, they didn't attend. They didn't even bother to RSVP. No congratulatory e-mail, nothing.

Not rude at all. We did it and helped a lot. I did fill in the name line for many guests as well...wish I had done that more, because some left it blank

I put "We have reserved ____ seats in your honour". And I filled in the blank with a black pen. I don't think anyone thought that was rude. It helped them understand how many people they could bring.

Call me rude then, because I just ordered our invitation suite today and I have this on my RSVP cards.

I want it to be over communicated who is invited so there isn't any confusion.

It's most certainly not rude. I didn't like the standard invitation format so when I made my own invitations, I specified the names of the people on the RSVP card and put a yes and no check circle by their names. My wedding is super tiny and my venue will only let me have a certain number of people anyways, so I could not afford extra pop-ins, and frankly my FH and I want this to be super intimate and special so we didn't want a huge group of people anyways. It's your choice. Etsy has a large variety of response card wording imo. It was a great place for ideas for me.

Heck no its not rude. I went with Vista print just so I could customize our rsvp cards to specifically have that on there.
