How do I interprete this wedding invitation?
June 4, 2010 7:53 AM
I just received my first of many wedding invitations, and I am a little unsure about how to respond. Based on this pic, it looks likes after "M_____" I put Mr. John Doe. Correct?
I received an invitation like this recently but it was addressed ____ & ____ Lastname (my husband and I). I put Mr. and Mrs. Lastname in the blank.

It's a weird convention, but that's correct. It avoids the inelegant 'Mr./Ms' construction.

If you know them well and want to be funny you could put "Me--Mr. John Doe"

I was just put in this position last week, I wonder if you and I are going to the same event. I was flummoxed until I called my sister - you're probably like me and feel awkward calling yourself mister. I almost just put M__e. . . ?

As Lucinda said, I think that's correct. One thing to add, if you're allowed to bring a date, this is where you'd list his/her name as well so they can make place cards. If the invitation isn't addressed to "& guest" (or a significant other's name + yours), though, it's possible they don't have room for you to bring someone else.

Is it a plus one invite? The blank also allows you to say 'Mr John Doe and Ms Alice Roe', if that's the case.
