Would you be offended if you received this:

Hi Ladies, I thought I would post on this side because I value alot of you guys opinions and I know some of you do not get over to BHB that often

Here goes:

I am freaked about my guest list, We are trying to keep it to 125-130 max. We have some people in our lives who are socially unaware. I was thinking of coming up with a response card such as :

We look forward to celebrating with you.
Please respond by XXXX

M__________

2 Seat(s) will be reserved.
____ Number of persons attending

____ Will not attend

Is this in any way in appropriate?

Please be honest, I will not get offended.

I in no way would be offended. I think it is absolutely fine! When I was going through the wording for the response cards, there were so many choices of wording to choose from. I wouldnt think twice if I received it.

I don't think it's offensive. It's straight to the point. I would spell out TWO.
Do you think there's a chance that anyone would put more than 2 in the line for # attending?

I wouldn't be offended, it makes things perfectly clear for those that are 'unaware'...believe me I know some of those people as well!

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

Thanks.

I do think that there is a chance that people may try to get over and add more people. I want this to be as problem free as possible.

THe only people who be offended are the ones that bring unwanted guest...the other guests probably wouldnt even notice the difference!

I wouldn't be offended...do you think you would get uninvited guests? I didn't have any...nor did people even think about it...

Yabbo- let's just say we have some friends/family who like to make their own rules. I have seen it done in the past to other people so I want to avoid it being done to me.

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

I have seen that before, something to the effect of 2 seats have been reserved for you. That is quite fine.

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

Yes I have seen something like that too. I don't find it offensive. The only ones that will are the guest that will want to bring more people.

Thanks so much!!!

I can always count on the Newlyweds.

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

I think it's perfectly acceptable. Wish I would have thought of it. I had several people fill in their own number regardless of who was named on the invitation. It's unbelievable. Good Luck planning

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

I wouldn't be offended, but beware with saying 2 seats a guest might assume that little joey can come since her DH is traveling on business that weekend. Also, will you have the 2 pre-printed? What about when you are sending to a younger cousin without a guest or a family of 4?

I am not a huge fan of the
M_______. I think just a line looks nicer JMO.

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

I will have a line next to seat(s) reserved and fill in the number myself.

Looks good.

Re: Would you be offended if you received this:

I did that on some of my invitations.
I made inserts for families, saying that we reserved X seats, etc., etc.

Some people STILL added people in.
It's really unbelieveable how CLUELESS people can be.
Anyway, I wouldn't be offended and I think you should do anything you can to make the point clear.
Just be forewarned. LOL.
