What does the "M" mean?

kparker83 · March 2010

Ok, stupid question.
Every response card/RSVP example I've seen has a "M" at the beginning of the line where people sign their name.
What does it mean? haha.

It is for the person to fill in Mr or Mrs or Miss or Ms depending on their relationship status.

PS: No question is a stupid question.

How do I kick out my bridesmaid from the bridal party for not being able to afford the $500 dress I picked out for her?

Anyway, yeah, having the M there looks cleaner than listing the options of Mrs, Mr, Ms, Miss or what ever...

Thanks ladies!

MegaMES · March 2010

since my name begins with an 'M' I always just used it for writing my name...because I'm a smart aleck. : )

smore154 · March 2010

I never knew this either! I got it on one invite and crossed it out HAHAHA! Good to know. I think I'm goign to leave it off mine since I think it's weird?

SassyPants150 · March 2010

Since my name starts with an M as well my first instinct has always been to just start writing my name...

I always wondered what Dr.'s are supposed to do with that line.

Shuutnstar · March 2010

Jackie... I agree with you! But Sherica's response clarifies what the history of it is...

I work with a lot of Doctors... so we are not using the M... We are actually printing all of their names in this beautiful font I was told about... (Aquaelle) And I am putting the Mr. Mrs. Miss or Dr. in front of their names and they just have to check if they are attending or not...

LaurenS3112 · March 2010

I was wondering what it meant myself. Never think a question is stupid, b/c as you see a lot of other people did not know what it meant either. I didn't know what r.s.v.p stood for either...

Ladies. some of your respones were too funny! I really like those of you who use the M as the first letter of your name! lol I am not going to use the M on our cards. Nobody ever uses it. We aren't going with that formal of a route anyway.

Sagenhaft · March 2010

That font "aquaelle" is really beautiful!

We actually had everyone's names printed on their response cards to avoid anyone RSVPing for people who weren't invited. They said:

Mr. John Doe
___ Will be attending
___ Regretfully, will be unable to attend

Mrs. Jane Doe
___ Will be attending
___ Regretfully, will be unable to attend

Children attending:

__ Jane
__ Jen

We didn't have any problems with random people ebing written into the response card!
