Escort card etiquette

I tried look up etiquette, and it's all over the places.... Could you please help me..?

1) Do I Have to put titles? Can I put John and Jane Doe instead of Mr. & Mrs. John Doe?
2) If a couple is engaged only, can I put both names on one card?
3) I have a single mom attending with her daugher. Do I make a separate card for her daugher? If not, how do I it?

Thanks!

    I did couples on one card, regardless of martial status.  I also included parents and small children on the same card (since I knew my flower girls couldn't read yet). A lot of people do one escort card per person and that simplifies things. I would have done it that way I got my escort cards on clearance from the Paper Store. I had to do multiple people per card or I would have run out. I was too cheap to buy other ones at that point.
    I used titles on the escort cards because my wedding was semi-formal and matched the formality of the invitations and save the dates I sent out.

    Ditto Sparkly.

    TBH, guests could care less about escort cards. They just want to know where to sit.

    I think one per guest is easiest. You can do a quick count to see that none are missing (12 guests will be seated at table 8...and I have 12 escort cards...check! etc)

    Thanks! It sounds like what I was thinking wasn't "violating" any etiquettes. I think I'll just do it per family/couple (I don't want to do 100 escort cards..). Thanks for your help!
