That single, lonely \u201cM\u201d on a wedding RSVP card has humiliated more guests than any dress code ever has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pens hover. Brows furrow. Panic sets in. Are you supposed to write \u201cMaybe\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your middle name? Something about your meal choice? The truth is older, simpler, and strangely comforting\u2014once you know it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That mysterious \u201cM\u201d is simply the first letter of a traditional courtesy title: Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re meant to complete the title and then write your full name on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So \u201cM\u201d + \u201cr.\u201d becomes \u201cMr.,\u201d followed by your name; \u201cM\u201d + \u201crs.\u201d becomes \u201cMrs.,\u201d and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not asking about your meal, your marital status, or how many guests you\u2019re bringing\u2014just who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your preferred title doesn\u2019t begin with M, you can still write the title you actually use, or simply write your name and skip a title altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you\u2019re the one designing invitations, you don\u2019t have to include the M at all. A clear \u201cName:\u201d line works beautifully and avoids confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, the only real rule is this: respond on time, with the name you want to be called, and only for the people who were truly invited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
