When filling out a wedding or formal-event RSVP card, you may notice a line that begins with the letter \u201cM.\u201d This traditional format is simply the beginning of a courtesy title, such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Guests traditionally complete the line by adding their preferred title followed by their name.<\/p>\n
The custom comes from older invitation etiquette, when formal titles were commonly used to address guests. Today, many invitations use simpler wording such as \u201cName\u201d or \u201cGuest Name,\u201d but the traditional \u201cM\u201d format is still sometimes used. If it appears on your RSVP card, you can provide the title you prefer or simply write your name.<\/p>\n
When responding, the most important thing is to follow the host\u2019s instructions and provide the requested information, including your attendance, invited guests, meal selections, or dietary needs. The \u201cM\u201d is not related to meals or a special question\u2014it is simply a traditional abbreviation used to begin a courtesy title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
