My mom and I are making and preserving jam in glass mason jars. We are topping each lid with decorative fabric and tying our monogram tag with a pretty ribbon.
Would it be unheard of for us to ask "one jar per family please?"
It wouldn't be unheard of. However, personally, I think that people are generally intelligent enough to note the number of jars in comparison to the number of guests, and can determine for themselves that the favors are intended to be one per family.

If you're worried about it, instead of leaving them on a table with a sign saying "one per family" you could put them at the place settings - one at every other place, or hand them out at your receiving line at the reception.
Love the escort card idea. You could also have a basket (that you replenish as needed) filled with the favors. As you go around the reception hall greeting guests at their tables, you could pass one out to each family.
