My bachelorette party was this weekend. It was awesome!

I went to Staples and bought the paper and such for DIY invitations. It was an awesome time!
Had the great debate with my mom and her friend about how I wish to send Invitations out. I have family members that live together but are all adults.
(Uncle, Aunt, Cousin and 2nd Cousin) I wanted to send an invitation to Aunt/Uncle and a seperate one to each cousin & guest. Another scenario, (Uncle, Aunt, 2 female Cousins and their guests) I wish to send 3 to that house.
My reasoning:
When they send back the RSVP, I want it to be straight forward and clear.
My RSVP cards are M________    will    or    will not attend.
There's no # of guests line. and I wanted to be able to make the Escort Cards straight from them without calling for their guests name and such.
They were saying that you address it to the head of household and just put the rest of their names on it.
What say you?

I sent them to each person or couple. So for example, one house recvied 3 invitations, one of my aunt and uncle together, and one for each cousin & guests. I would still put a # section though just in case people choose not to bring a plus one. We were really surprised by how many people are coming by themselves. We invited everyone with a guest.

Thank you for your input. I thought I was right. That's how I want to invite people.. Individual invitations and everyone with guest.

I'll add a #___ section to the response cards.
