Wedding Invitations & Paper

Need opinions/suggestions on RSVP cards!

I need opinions on my RSVP cards wording. We FI and I both have large families and
I'm trying to come up with a way to let everyone in general know that their children (younger and older) can bring their significant other or even a friend if they are the type of kid that doesn't want to go to a boring wedding without their bff. this is what i have, and I need to know if it's approriate/sufficient....

Please respond on or before

    I think you should just include "and guest" for anyone whom you want to allow guests. This wording opens it up for anyone to come, and I think it's just a little weird in general. 

    Say there's a family with two teenagers and you want them to bring guests/friends:
    Mr. and Mrs. John Doe

    on the inner envelope (or just add the kids and "and guest" to the outer envelope underneath the parents names if you're not having inner envelopes):
    Jane and John
    Sally and Guest
    Bobby and Guest

    Then they can just fill in the number of people based on who you're inviting, rather than letting them fill in random numbers. 
    Please reply by the date

    As far as kids bringing friends, I would just tell people this via word of mouth. I don't think that many kids would refuse to attend a wedding without a friend, and if they are the type who would, maybe their parents would just find a sitter for them and come alone anyway. 

    Edit: I made a mistake with the addresses - fixed now!
