Regarding an invitation I received

The other day I received a wedding invitation from one of my old coworker buddies. We had been good friends for 3 years working together, she came to my wedding, blah de blah.

The rsvp card says
M ____________________-
Accepts with pleasure / declines with regret

Now...she obviously knows that Scott and I are married, and the rsvp return address is "The Dhslastname family", so is it safe to assume if I call to confirm that we are both invited she won't be super surprised when I say "Dh is invited too right"?

Yes the original invite would tell me, but Dh threw that away before I could get any info off of it.

  • It's to the both of you.

  • Yes, if you guys are married, then it is safe to assume he is invited, too. I would go ahead and make that call. If she sounds surprised by your question, then that is her faux pas, not yours.

  • I wouldn't even call. What else would family mean?

    If the address says "family", I would think you're safe even without a call--though I would personally give her a call and slip it into conversation somewhere.  And my FI is the guy who throws away invitations before I get to look at them, too. 
  • Ok good. I thought so and she is the quite possibly the sweetest, best soul I've ever met so I didn't want to give her a heart attack. I'm reminded of all the "OMG I thought I made it clear that only X was invited by only putting in one rsvp card! The nerve!" type posts.

  • Yep, I asked this same question when I receieved a similar invitation a while ago. I don't know why they only put one line. That's what confused me too. It's definitely to you both. :)
  • I wouldn't even call to ask. There's no reason to believe that he's not invited.
  • There's usually only one RSVP card, and you just write all the names on the one line.  This is extremely common.  I would not worry about it in the slightest.
