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

The 'M' stands for Members of the family attending! Here you should fill the full name of your family members attending starting with the head of the family i.e. Mr. John Smith, Mrs Jane Smith, Master Peter Smith and Miss Betty Smith.

Before the 'Accept with Pleasure' all you have to do is tick mark.

If you are unable to attend then you need not fill all the Members, just write Mr & Mrs John Smith & Family. Now tick mark the space before 'Decline with regrets.'

Most Wedding invitations are addressed To Mr & Mrs & Family. If however, a person is single then it may be specific as Mr. John. If you are unmarried but have a girlfriend/boyfriend and both are invited then again it would be specific as Mr John Smith & Jane Harris.

Answer 2

First and foremost, were all 4 people you're planning to RSVP for named in writing on the envelope invitation? Just because there is a blank line, doesn't mean you bring as many as you want. If your husband and children were not listed on the envelope, your kids were not invited. But if all four were named in writing, then you can politely RSVP for 4.

I get the feeling only Mr. and Mrs. Smith were invited. If that is the case, then you finish the M___ by writing in Mr. John and Jane Smith. Make sure you write your first names so the host can make the place cards accordingly for the reception. If you can attend, but your husband cannot. You would write in "Mrs. Jane Smith accepts. 1 will be attending."

NOTE: I accidentally gave Owl a thumbs down instead of a thumbs up. I'm sorry. Owl makes a great point!

Answer 3

Mr, Mrs or Miss and yes, put a number 4 in front of the accept. Don't assume they know how many you will have with you. If they have a problem with that, they will contact you. The invite is pretty open so 4 should be fine, be a polite guest and write in FOUR (4).

Answer 4

Were 4 people invited? Did the invite read "and family"? If not they may be only inviting Mr and Mrs.
If you insist on bringing 4 people regardless, put Mr & Mrs Smith then underneath put the other 2 peoples names.

Answer 5

I would put Mr. and Mrs. Smith.. Mark the number attending on the Accpet with pleasure line. Then FLIP the card over and write a short note " Mr. and Mrs. Jones will be attending with us " If they are not on the invatation. Just in case there is a reason Mr and Mrs Jones shouldn't attend they have time to let you know.

Answer 6

I'm incline to agree with the person who asked the question were the people you're arriving with invited? A wedding isn't usually an open invitation for anyone to show up. This is a special occasion for the couple who are about to be joined in marriage.

I'd contact the people in charge of this event and find out if it's OK to bring along people they didn't invite.

Thanks for the acknowledgement on the thumbs down- Not A Problem.

Answer 7

M is for Mr., Mrs., Ms., Master and the name. List all four names who plan to attend and check accept. To be clearer, you may also add the number by accept.

Answer 8

I would fill in the M with Mr/Mrs last name and then next to accept, I would list the 4 guests b/c they will need the names for the placecards.

Answer 9

the M part is for "Mr.", "Mrs" or "Miss"

Do they know how many is in your family, i.e. Husband, wife and 2 kids... or will they not know how many to expect unless you write 4? If they wont know then put 4 before "accept with pleasure"

Answer 10

fill in Mr, Mrs, Miss....then your last name, then write the # of people in the _ for accepted or decline.
