RSVP wording for buffet reception?

Hey,

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to word the RSVP cards because I don't have a meal choice and people are invited with plus 1s, so when they check the "accept" box, how do I know if they're coming solo or with a guest?

I really don't want to write "___ Attending with guest"  but I can't seem to find this answer anywhere...

Thanks!!!
-Helen

    If you just leave it with the M_____________________
    People are supposed to fill it in like:
    Miss Kristen Lastname and Fiance Lastname
    x     will attend
    __ will not attend

    I'm sure people mess it up sometimes, but I think it's pretty obvious. Most weddings I have attended did not have an entree selection ahead of time and it was never that confusing. If I was going alone, I just wrote my name.

    If you can't tell how many people they RSVP'd for, just call them and ask.

    FWIW, I'm having a buffet and I included an entree selection... my caterer is pretty young and new, so I figured I could help her out by letting her know which choice more people seem to be interested in (but we're not going to hold them to the slection they make)

    You could just have another line with a blank for number attending.

    This is what we did on my girl's RSVP cards, since there were teenagers involved in some of the families (and you can never tell if a teen is going to be interested in attending a wedding or not!) and every single card came back with the number part filled in-usually the same number that had been invited, but some with a smaller number.  Ours were something like this:

    M__________________________________(we chose not to pre-fill in the names)

    ________ will attend       ________number attending

    ________ not able to attend

    We did:

    M___________

    ___ Will attend

    ___ Will not attend

    ____ # Adults attending

    ____ # Children attending

    Or something like that.  Obviously, it included an age cut off.
