If you think its fine than do it, who cares what others think. But usually people dont do that, they have suggestions from family and friends and base it on that. Ask people face to face what they like and dont than sum it all up and go from there. Either way your not going to have everyone happy, people all have different taste, but at least you will get the most of them.

We put our menu selections on the rsvp card not the invitation. Keep in mind that you should expect more legwork because you will have to keep track of what everyone ordered. A good way to make sure people don't change their minds from the inexpensive chicken to the pricey beef is to color code their place cards at the reception. The idea is that when the servers come to each table they will see the cards instead of having to ask people what they ordered a month ago ;-)

If you're asking if it's ok to offer meal selections WITH the invitation, that's fine. You simply place the choices (i.e., beef, pork, chicken, vegetarian) on the RSVP card along with how many people would be attending.
So something like:
Mr/Mrs____________ will/will not be attending.
_______ Number of Adults
_______ Number of Children (if you're allowing kids)
_______ Number of Beef Plates
_______Number of Chicken Plates
_______Number of Vegetarian Plates
~~~~~~~~~~
However, as a side note, many people are simply arranging buffets so that people can choose what they want and not worry about served meals or messing something up.

It doesn't go on the invitation, it goes on the RSVP card. It isn't tacky, but it does create a lot more work for you. You have to keep track of what everyone wants and where they are sitting, so that the caterer knows what to cook and who to bring it to. You will also encounter people who requested the chicken breast on the card, but tell the servers that they had the beef because they either forgot they requested chicken or changed their mind.

No, of course not. This is how seated meal receptions are done.
If its a buffet, no dont ask, but if you are serving a plated meal you will need to know who wants what.
Be sure you put in a box for childrens meals (if you have invited kids) and also Vegetarian meals, you want the kitchen to be prepared for those as well.

we did this on the RSVP card - it's not tacky at all.
what we did was give one RSVP card per person invited (so if there were 2 people invited in an invitation, there'd be two RSVP cards, and one return envelope).
and each card said:
We look forward to celebrating with
______________ (we wrote in their name - time consuming, but i've heard of a lot of people who forget to write in their name!)
then two boxes for 'accepts' or 'declines'.
then:
Please select one of the following:
and 4 boxes for each of the meals available.
Then when we got all the replies back, we made our placecards with their meal printed on the back! worked perfectly!

Perhaps you could just type up a little note to slide in the wedding invitation asking what they would like.

That would go on the RSVP card. Creates alot more work for you and you will find out how rude people are as not many respond to RSVPs anymore.
