If you’ve ever received a wedding invitation, you might have been a little puzzled by the reply card, which usually goes a little something like this:
Kindly reply by (date)
M___________________
What does the M mean?!
My brother in law wrote his own name (M)att____ on our reply card, which I loved, but the M does not exist just to make people whose names start with M’s lives a little easier.
It’s just the traditional way of indicating that you should write down your name on that line - M is the first letter of Mr., Mrs., or Ms., so it’s kind of a one size fits all situation. I’ve found that most people know what to do, but if you think it’s weird, you could always swap the M out for Name(s) instead, just to make it clearer!
And now you know!
