favor vs. favour

What's the difference? I am making my response cards, had my mom proof them, and she thought it should say "the favour of a reply is requested by xdatex" instead of "favor"?

TIA!

Also... I've seen "honor of your presence" and "honour" ... is it more formal to add the "u" LOL

[QUOTE]It is traditional to use the British spelling of "honour" and "favour".  In the USA, this is optional.

If your using honour,  then you use favour.  If not then it is the same honor, favor.

I gave our stationery store the typed info, and I had "honor"... when we got our proof we saw they changed it to "honour" and "favour" on the reply card. Those are "officially" more proper.  After talking to fiance, we decided to stick with the regular spelling - honor, favor & had them change it back.  Just seems more normal to us.
