The printed \u201cM\u201d on a wedding response card comes from formal correspondence etiquette. It begins titles such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss, inviting guests to finish the appropriate title and add their names. Someone replying as \u201cMs. Jane Smith,\u201d for example, would complete the printed letter with \u201cs. Jane Smith.\u201d This small convention helped maintain the polished, traditional tone of a formal invitation. It was a prompt, not a secret code or a test of whether you belonged.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Today, there is usually much less pressure to follow that format precisely. Guests can write their names clearly, using the titles they prefer\u2014or none at all. If the printed letter does not suit your title, clarity matters more than forcing a fit. Follow the card\u2019s instructions, indicate who will attend, and return it by the requested date. What matters most is helping the couple plan a celebration with the people they love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
