Wedding RSVP?

Question

Our family received an invitation to a friend's wedding. We're accepting with four people.

The invitation looks like this:

.......................................................

Kindly respond by November 1

M ___________

__ Accept with Pleasure
__ Decline with regrets

.....................................................

What do you write after M? Do you add the proper ending, i.e. Mr / Mrs, or do you leave it M Last Name?

Before "Accept," do you mark, or do you write the number attending?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

You should write
(M)r. and Mrs. Jones and family
4 (Accept with Pleasure)

and leave the Decline space blank.

Answer 2

Wedding Rsvp M

Answer 3

There's a couple of ways to do reply to this kind of RSVP, both of which are acceptable.

For both:
Behind the "M" you would write out the name as it appeared on the invitation (Mr. & Mrs. Scott Brown or Ms. Ashley Jones and Guest).

Under the accept or decline, you can either check the appropriate box (or as I prefer for accepting) put the number in as to who will be attending. Brides don't think about it when they're ordering their RSVP cards as they're assuming that every person invited on the invitation will show but I like the cards that actually show how many guests will be attending for sure. It makes it easier when you're giving caterers final numbers!

Answer 5

Putting the 'M' there for people is an obnoxious example of wedding etiquette. What, I won't know how to begin writing *my own name* if not for the invitation starting it for me? And I have to be a Mr./Mrs./Ms. or else no one will know at which table to place me at the wedding?

Please, everyone, when you send out your own wedding invitations, reject this outdated format. Let people write their names however they choose, with or without a Mr./Mrs./Ms. Try putting "Name:________" or something similar. It would be far less obnoxious and condescending, and you might even appear to belong to the current century.

Upvote if you agree.

Answer 6

You write your name-or rather the name as it was written on the inner envelope of the invitation ( if no inner, then just outer listing) so if it said Mr and Mrs Jones you write that. You may only bring as many people as were written on the envelope. If it said Mr and Mrs Jones and family or listed the children also, then you write after M exactly as it was on the envelope. No number is listed unless you have a reply card that says Number_______ but yours doesnt

Answer 7

The M is to complete Mr/Mrs/Ms. If your entire family was invited you would put "Mr. & Mrs. John Smith, Kathy & Jimmy" If your kids weren't invited then it should just say, "Mr & Mrs. John Smith." You write the number attending on the lines below it. So you would put a 4 in front of the "Accepts with Pleasure." (Only if 4 were invited of course)

Answer 8

You are saying that four (or more) people were invited, yet the response card only has a blank for a single name? That's about as clear and easy to understand as a one-way dead-end street. I'd avoid any potentially embarrassing misundstandings; contact the hosts and ask them what they expect. Besides, that will give you a chance to ask what sort of gift they might like, get driving directions, and so on.

Answer 9

Hi, Yes....write Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and then the number accepting and the number declining.

Answer 10

Your name, and if it specified "and Guest" the guests name.

Before accept, you could either do a checkmark or put a #2 down.
