Are you planning to include a space for guests to indicate number attending on your response card? We weren't going to but my mom pointed out we have a lot of families coming, and some may bring kids or not....so it might be good to have....I kinda thought they would just write who is coming on the line provided? What are your thoughts?
TIA!

we didn't, just in case people decided it was OK to think they could bring 10 people even though only two were invited. for the responses we've gotten back, many people have filled in the # next to the Will Attend section, so that's been very helpful.
Did anyone who included 'Number attending' and has already gotten RSVPs back have this happen? I don't think it will be a problem b/c we are basically inviting everyone as it is!
YES.. over and over and over again.. all fh's family.. but there are extinuating circumstances that have caused this in my opinion.. fh and his parents have a huge family adn were VERY stingy in who they invited.. they left out random people who in my opinion should have been invited..like.. a set of three siblings.. the invite was written only to two of them..soo...when they got the invite they write three because there are THREE siblings.. or they'd invite the mother and father and one child(for a total of three)..but the other child lives there so when the mother and father send in their invite they write four because they are a family of four..
it's odd but it's cause my fh's mom and dad were super cheap and odd with their invites.. my side of the family hasn't had any problems with random numbers showing up in hte number attending line.
oh and also fh's mom's best friend.. this dummy was invited as one and a guest.., *she's not family... just fmil's friend* she puts down FOUR on her RSVP.. and when i fmil called her on it she actually got indignant and responded.. well it doesn't read that way.. it says number attending so that means for me to put down who i want to bring, i want to bring my son, and daughter.
