How will this circuit affect the voltage/current?

I've built some RF Remote toggled relays to toggle on/off continuous power to a device.

The RF receiver device consumes 50ma with the coil energized. If I wire the RF receiver device I made in parallel with the +Voltage going to the device getting continuous voltage. How will this affect the device I am toggling on/off?

Will it just put an extra 50ma drain on the +voltage wire going to the device getting continuous power? Will I loose voltage at the device?

It won't be "in parallel with the + Voltage." It will be in parallel with the receiver, both of which are across the voltage source.

It will be an extra 50mA drain on the source, not "the +voltage wire."
So long as the source can supply the extra current then the receiver won't be affected. If you are running this off a battery the only such problem will be when it starts to run out of charge.
