[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you people seriously not know that the clearly-invited people are always listed on the exterior envelope?!

Ms. Madison Reede
Means that you are invited, and may not bring a plus one.

Ms. Madison Reede and Guest
Means that you may bring a plus one.

The Smith Family
Means kids are invited.

Mr. and Mrs. Steven Smith
Means that your kids are NOT invited.

Get with the program, people.[/quote]

Eh not always. People getting married at a brewery are probably not hewing to the most formal standards like that. We got married at a restaurant/bar and we certainly didn't. I'd much rather someone have asked me than assume the most restrictive policy and not come.

Also FWIW it is 2021 and women have their own first and last names. Stop addressing things to Mr and Mrs Oldfashioned. That is weird and off-putting. When I see invites like that, I feel like I don't need to bother even responding since they can't bother getting my name right and clearly only care about or pay attention to my husband.[/quote]

“EH,” I’m pretty sure we can tell the kids aren’t invited on account of THE BRIDE AND GROOM SAID NO KIDS UNDER 21.

And by the way, I didn’t address as Mr. and Mrs. Oldfashioned. But the deliberately clueless OP asked “wHaT d0 I doooo to InTerpret thIs MYSTERY,” and I’m helping her get over herself.[/quote]
