Is it okay to say this:

"X seats have been reserved in your honor"

...and then continue with the regular wording

Yes, no, suggestions?

It's ok, but IMO it can make it seem like the seats are transferable.  I.e., somebody might think "oh, my husband can't go, and they have two seats reserved for us, so I can bring my daughter."

because my wedding is very funny and laid back we are writing something like

Robert Smith ____is pulling out the dancing shoes now
                     ____ would rather watch a  car race
Jane Smith    ____is makin sure he has the danicing shoes
                    ____ has to watch the race with him

this isnt exact but something like this. I dont want Robert to think if Jane doesnt go he can bring his daughter Judy

It depends on how restrictive you want to be on your guest list.  Do you care if someone brings their adult child instead of a spouse?

My sister wrote "___ # attending" on hers and not a single person added more guests .... but she did have some people bring someone other than their SO.  She didn't care, figuring she already allotted for 2 guests for that party- and whatever made them happy was fine with her.

It just depends on how specific you want to be about your guest list.  If you want more control, follow cmmosley's advice.  If you don't care as much, then just put the wording you like best.  My sister chose hers because she has a LOT of single friends invited with plus ones and her phrasing made it easy for her to figure out who was bringing dates and who wasn't.
