[b]RSVP'ing to a wedding on same rather than sending back the little "check fish or chicken" cards[/b].[/quote]

HA! I do this. Only because I hate those reply cards[/quote]

I used to do this until my son's friend's mom said -- very sweetly-- that it screwed up her box of reply cards for kid's Bar Mitzvah.   [/quote]

I just write a sweet note on the back of the RSVP card unless I receive one without an RSVP card (which seems to not happen anymore).  [/quote].

There, that is a perfect one!  Sending out wedding invitations with no reply cards!  Very very old school and an unintentional status symbol.  Only those with enough knowledge will even get this.  What is really sad though is people who don't even know how to reply to such an invitation.  [/quote]

Nah it's just the culture changing and evolving over time.[/quote]

Ha...we did not have reply cards (my mother and grandmother's preference) and a lot of our guests were confused. [/quote]

Me too and only guests on DH's side were "confused."  Kind of funny to me but not to my mom.   :lol:

I have to say, most of the wedding invitations I received from college friends did not have reply cards.  I am in my early 40s so it's not that "old school".   I know many people who think reply cards are tacky, even the plain blank ones.  But I also did have friends and even relatives who sent these.  They chose to largely because they were worried too many people these days dont know how to respond to a formal invitation without a reply card.

I have only ever seen one of the style reply card where you could chose your dinner.  Had never even heard of such a thing.  That was very humorous to me.[/b]

Like many other things on this thread, it is simply one more "tell" related to social class.
