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.
Instead, list the number of guests who will or will not attend.
The same goes for menu selection if listed.
