Inivitation Wording

Lali4182

Hey ladies. I have a question regarding invitation wording. We have a limited amount of people that we can invite and are really trying to stick to it. On the invitation, how can i make sure that only the person/people who the invitation is made out to show up and not come with extra guests???? Is there something specific that I should write?

On the envelope and RSVP card, make it out to specifically who you are inviting. There's nothing you need to say on the invite about it.

Also, even if you are being very specific and very limited, you need to make sure you invite SOs. Eliminate kids before you eliminate SOs. Just a tip, you may not be headed that direction at all.

Address the envelope to the people invited.  When the RSVP with extras, call them and tell them the invite was for Xand Y.  If they argue with you and try to give you the guilt trip, tell them you'll understand if they can't attend.

There's no secret code that easily guarantees that clueless people won't try to bring extra guests.

Like Whit said, just address it to the person/people you are inviting. If someone RSVPs for 4 when you invited 2, or calls and asks if they're kids are invited, the answer is, "Well, we have limited space and a tight budget for the wedding, but we'd love to get together with the whole family some other time."
