It's interesting:
"Extended anecdotes at a wedding are like a porn star's professional pride and joy; long, hard and difficult to swallow. There are, of course, exceptions; tales so ..."

Reply cards are included in a wedding invitation to enable invited guests to easily inform the bridal couple whether they will attend the wedding. Sometimes reply cards are also used to ask guests to indicate meal choices. Reply cards will usually have similar graphics as the wedding invitation. The wording of a reply card is quite standard and should be as simple as possible to ensure that guests return the reply cards in a timely fashion.

Instructions

    • 1

      Begin the first line with a capital "-M."- Immediately after the "-M"- place a long underscore line extending throughout the remainder of the first line. This will be the blank line where the guests fill in their names. The "-M"- is the first letter of the title "-Mr.,"- "-Ms."- or "-Mrs."-

    • 2

      Place a three-character underscore line followed by the word "-Accepts"- and another three-character underscore line followed by the word "-Declines"- on the second line. This is where the guest fills in their acceptance or refusal of the invitation with a check mark in the appropriate space.

    • 3

      Type the words "-Number attending"- on the third line, followed by a five-character underscore line. The guests will fill in the number of people in their party in this space.

    • 4

      Include meal options on the fourth line, if desired, followed by a three-character underscore line after each option. The guests can fill in the number of each meal they desire.

    • 5

      Place the words "-Please reply by"- and then the date you wish to have the reply cards returned to you on the last line.

Tips &- Warnings

  • Buy extra cards just in case you make some mistakes.

  • Practice on a few index cards before beginning on the real thing.

  • If you have trouble writing in a straight line, place a darkly lined piece of paper underneath the reply card so you can see the lines through it. If you're using especially thick card stock, you can write on a light box to have the lines come through better.
