Is this weird?

Would it be strange if we put individual rsvp cards in with the invites? So if h w are invited, there would be a card with h's name and one with w's name. That way if people had a guest we'd immediately know their name and it would prevent some of the more distant cousins from thinking the whole family is invited we are having an aults only hopefully reception.
But is this weird?

I like that idea not sure if it correct but also you should think about the extra cost involved.

I only did one RSVP per invite, with the number of lines that were invited and names pre-written. 

That didn't stop the write-ins though.

I think it is weird... also will add to postage (weight of the envelope and return postage).

I vote weird.  And costly.

We did custom RSVPs for each invite so there was one postcard RSVP in each invite that listed each invited guest by name, with checkboxes next to their name for meal selection or a "regretfully declines" option.  If they had a plus one, we left an empty line to fill in their guest's name next to the same options.  It was kind of complicated to do, and we had to do that part of the printing ourselves, but we didn't have any additional guests added.

[QUOTE]Ditto weird and costly.  Plus, if you only get one RSVP card, how are you going to know that others who were invited with guests got multiple cards in their invite? If you're really worried about uninvited extras, I'd just do one RSVP with each person's name listed out: Mr. John Smith     ___Accepts     ___Declines Mrs. Jane Smith   ___Accepts     ___Declines However, in my experience, people who add to the RSVP are going to do it no matter what, so it's really just something you have to be prepared to deal with as it happens.

<div>This. I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the time/effort and the end result will be the same. </div>

I think it's slightly weird, but even then, it would be a lot of extra effort on you part, and I don't see it doing much help. You may get some who only send in one of the rsvp's, some who scratch out one name and put another. It would just be too much, not including the postage.
