  Keep it simple for your guests and just include this on the RSVP.

  
  

  Kindly reply by the (date)

  M_________

  __number accepting

  __declines

  
  

  Please initial your choice of entree

  ____chicken ____beef ____fish

  
  

  
  

  There you have the number who will be coming, and you will know who is attending based on the intials. Address the envelope only to who is invited (not Smith Family, or The Doe's) and you should minimize trouble with extra guests/kids.

  [QUOTE]I'd keep the menu selections on the rsvp card. If you want to prefill names, I'd do it like this: Ms. Jane Doe           __ declines ___ chicken ___beef ___ fish Mr. John Smith         __ declines ___ chicken ___ beef ___ fish I left off __ accepts for the sake of space and since they wouldn't select an entree if they wouldn't be there, but if you have room you could include it. <strong>On my rsvp cards, I didn't include names and went with the "initial next to your entree". While I'm pretty sure all of my guests are above average intelligence, the number of them that wrote 1 or 2 next to their entree selection was pretty high. So if you go that route, just be prepared to make some phone calls to figure out exactly who wants what.</strong>

  </div><div>This.  I did the same thing, and am getting a lot of them back with numbers instead of initials.  However, I figure if a guest can't read directions & initial it, they can trade entrees with their date if I happen to put them down backwards.  I'm also glad I wrote out guest's names in the return address spot as I've already gotten 2 of them back with no name at all otherwise on them.
