If you receive a wedding invitation with no reply card, there is special paper and form to follow to reply. The folded letter sheet resembles a wedding invitation in that it is folded along the left side and then folds top to bottom to go into a smaller envelope. The reply to this, and to any formal, engraved invitation should be written in black ink and follow the wording of the invitation:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
accept with pleasure
the kind invitation of
Dr. and Mrs. John Doe
for Saturday,
the eighteenth of December
at half after seven o'clock
Mr. John Smith
regrets he is unable to accept the kind invitation of
Dr. and Mrs. Albert Smith
for Saturday,
the eighteenth of December

If an invitation is sent to your name alone... only you are invited. You may ask your hostess if you may bring someone to a wedding only if you are engaged. Children are never invited unless they are named on the envelope. |
