Would you like to hear it?

Sure.

Dear Madam, accepting an invitation to a wedding and reception, in what form should I reply?

You should not reply at all unless a reply is requested.

RSVP in the corner of the invitation.

Invitations to weddings, especially church weddings, do not call for replies.

House weddings very often do, however, or the accompanying invitation to the wedding breakfast or reception.

In that case, the reply should be addressed to the person in whose name the invitation is issued, usually the parents of the bride.

It should be written on white or cream-coloured letter paper and should be read in this way.

Mr EAJ accepts with pleasure this kind invitation of Mr and Mrs Charles R Brown to the wedding of their daughter on Tuesday afternoon, June 20th at 4 o'clock.

Wedding reception of their daughter should be used if the invitation be to the reception.

God, I am grateful we do not live in the 1800s.

Anyway, I'm going to read this and the book and I will come back with any other snippets.

The other book he gave me was How to Put on Makeup.

I'll bring that for another day.

It was very interesting.

Yeah, I'm sure it would be.

Anyway, we have come a long, long, long way.

Thank God.

Hello.
