Dear
Polite One,
There
was no reply card with an invitation
to a wedding we received. I believe we are expected to reply with a
handwritten note. How is this done? Is there special stationery for this?
What should be said?
No
Note
Dear
No Note,
Traditionally,
this was expected for a formal wedding. Unfortunately, this is not the case much
anymore since this tradition is disappearing. It is refreshing to hear of
someone following proper wedding etiquette. A formal reply is written on heavy,
high-quality plain white or cream-colored notepaper using blue, blue-black, or
black ink.
Example
Mr.
and Mrs. Your Name
accept
with pleasure Or, regrets that we are
unable to accept
the
kind invitation of
Mr.
and Mrs. Their Name
for
Saturday, the tenth of July
at
half after six o'clock.
It
is optional to include the location of the wedding
in the acceptance letter. The regret does not have to include the time. Send
an additional note of congratulates, sighting other commitments if sending
your regrets.
Sincerely,
The
Polite One
