admission tickets... a cultural thing?

I was very surprised when I researched for the etiquette of giving admission tickets to a wedding, and I couldn't find anything. In my Country, it's normal etiquette to include as many tickets as the people you intend to invite. For example, if it's a family of 5, but you are just inviting the parents, then you include 2 tickets. Or if it's a single friend but he/she can bring somebody, then you include 2 tickets on his/her invitation. What is the etiquette in the United States?

I've never heard of giving admission tickets to a wedding.  We usually indicate on the outer envelope and RSVP card how many/which people are invited to the wedding.

I too, have never heard of this, however, this might be a way to make sure that only people with a ticket would be able to be admitted to the venue.

The the US you address the invitation to the people invited. So if you are inviting a couple and their two kids it is
Mr. & Mrs. John Smith
Jack Smith
Jill Smith

If you are only inviting the adults,
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

If anyone misunderstands and responds for more guests than were invited you just call them up and let them know the invitation was only for the people you invited.
