Why Is There an “M” on It?
Before you complete the response card, first determine who has actually been invited to the wedding.

How To Accept (or Decline) a Wedding Invitation?
Mark the number of guests by either “joyfully accepts” or “regretfully declines.”
Do not include a checkmark or “X” to signify your acceptance or rejection of the invitation.

The same goes for menu selection if listed.
