My cousin got married a couple of years ago, and told me that one of her biggest headaches was people who sent her their RSVP card, but without writing in their name! I would expect one or two people to flake out and do that, but she had more than a dozen, and it was a huge, unexpected nightmare in her last few weeks of planning to try and figure it all out.
My RSVP cards are already printed, with the blank line for their name. The invitations need to mail in 2 weeks -- not enough time to reprint anything. My mom and I are considering writing people's names on their RSVP card for them. But I have heard that's a breach of etiquette.
Frankly, if it will remove a source of stress in those last weeks, I'm willing to commit a minor etiquette breach. But I don't want to actively offend anyone...
Looking for guidance -- has this happened to anyone, or was my cousin's experience unusual? It is a horrible thing to write the names in for them?
Thanks,
Sarah

Found this link for a great deal on a pen (they also have them at amazon). You just write them out, then use the UV light when they come back!
