This is specifically for those who are indicating the number of seats reserved:
I've seen many of you discuss having '___ seats have been reseved in your honor' on your response cards to avoid those people who just pick a random number when they respond to invitations.
Here's my dilemma: What about people who are not being invited with a guest? I can't bring myself to fill in the number '1' when the sentence says, '_____ seatS HAVE been reserved....'
What to do?

I thought about that; I'm worried that it looks cluttered.

Re: RP from BHB: Grammar police needed
We're just putting '1 seat has been reserved in your honor' if it's someone that isn't being invited with a plus one.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, personally.
ours read like this : ___ seats have been reserved in your honor ___ accept with pleasure ------ decline with regret ____ number of guests attending

Re: RP from BHB: Grammar police needed
I like the suggestions above but I think you always run into this. Mine say ----accepts with pleasure ---- declines with regret. For anyone with more than one person invited it's grammatically incorrect.
