I'm having that debate myself, but:
1) If the invitation is for those exactly specified on the envelope, and you don't want any confusion as to who is invited, include their names on the response card.
2) If you trust that your guests will understand that whomever is listed on the invitation are those invited, go ahead and leave it blank for them to fill in, but be prepared to make calls if people decide to bring unwanted guests in the event that the intended +1 can no longer make it...makes sense?
My worry is that guests will bring whomever they want, and since our guest list is extremely tight, we'd like to save open spots for those who we really want to invite.
So, I'm still on the fence about writing their names on the response card or not. I guess it just depends on what your goal is.
Another thing is to add maybe something like, "We have reserved ___ seats in your honor" or something so they know that the invitation is limited to X # of people, and usually guests should understand that the invitation is limited to those addressed on the envelope...
HTH!
