This is good stuff to know but I think it's kind of a moot point if the invitees don't know it. In my family, it's generally assumed that whoever is invited is welcome to bring their families. For a wedding, the invitee would write in "Invitee +5" even if there was no spot for "and guest(s)." They would just assume their 5 kids must be invited and, while the children's names weren't listed on the invitation, the couple has planned for all 5 to attend. I have never seen a family wedding where people left their kids at home, invited or not. Most people would think this is rude but for us, it's normal. Which would be a HUGE problem if I (one day) can't afford to invite everyone's kids. Even if I left the kids off the invititation, everyone would still miss the memo and bring them anyway.
Which raises the question: If the R.S.V.P. card has a blank for "# of guests____" is it standard to only bring one or are you allowed to write 5 and bring your gaggle of offspring since there was no limit designated?
