The problem with writing in the names is that you may not end up knowing precisely who is and who is not coming to the wedding. But you can also add that information in the mailing address on the invitation envelopes. This does help clarify who has been invited if you don't have an outer envelope. Others suggest having a blank space where you can write in the invited guests on the RSVP card before you send them out. If you leave it blank and just have a line to fill out, we suspect that your guests will be even more confused about filling it in and they may not fill out anything at all on that line. We've seen people replace the "M" with "Name(s)". They want a wedding that is more casual and more in line with their personalities. Many people are not fans of using titles these days, especially between grownups.
Now, in modern times couples are not as keen on this tradition. Generally they will have to fit themselves into that format or cross it out. Their official titles aren't in that list I mentioned above. Of course, things get confusing if you are inviting doctors or military personnel to your wedding. If it is addressed to your single niece, she would write "M"iss Jessica Smith on that line. So, for example, if the RSVP card has been sent to Jane and David Smith, they would write "M"r. The "M" in the reply card is meant to signify the first letter of your title - the choices are Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Miss. This custom dates back to a time when inviting people to weddings was a bit more formal. Thankfully, your guests will likely do a quick internet search and figure it out. Many people have no idea what this means, especially younger generations. Some writers incorrectly use the phrase "Please RSVP", which is a case of RAS syndrome or a pleonasm.On wedding RSVP reply cards, you'll often see a "M" followed by a line. In this context, the initialism seems to have loosened its tie to its original meaning. In recent years, digital RSVPs have become common, particularly for wedding invitations. This may be used when the event will be held a considerable time in the future and/or in a distant location to allow for travel plans, for such events as a wedding, christening, or any other important event. Prior to sending the RSVP invitation, the host may mail out a "save the date" card to advise the date and location of the celebration. The phrase "Regrets only" refers to the assumption that a declination will be worded with some variation of "We regret we cannot attend .". The phrase "RSVP, regrets only", – or simply "Regrets only", is a popular modern variation that implies "if you do not reply, that will be taken as an acceptance." More specifically, if most invitations can be assumed to be accepted, a "regrets only" RSVP will reduce the communication required by both the host and their guests. In addition, the French initialism "SVP" is frequently used to represent "S'il vous plaît" ("Please"). In France, it is now more common to use "Réponse attendue avant le .", meaning " answer is expected before .". The initialism "RSVP" is no longer used much in France, where it is considered formal and old-fashioned. RSVP is an initialism derived from the French phrase Répondez s'il vous plaît, literally meaning "Respond, if you please", or just "Please respond", to require confirmation of an invitation.
