[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.

You, the "Bless Your Heart" Poster and the "+1" poster are seriously clueless and wierd.  The term "Bless Your Heart" is a Southern one used for people thast are socially inept or inferior.  Anyone who uses a reply card with a meal choice on it is from a socially inept or inferior background because this is just flat out tacky and low class.  If you are so unfortunate as to have a caterer who requires it, get a new caterer and, really, atv a formal sit-down multi-course wedding, you dont serve different main courses, just one with, if you like surf [i]and [/i]turf but there is no [i]selection process[/i].  You eat wjhat is served or you dont eat it.  That is the choice and that is how it is done by proper folk who may say "Bless Your Heart" IRL even if they sound ridiculous and silly.[/quote]

Well, bless your heart. [/quote]

Because "Bless your heart" can mean a lot of things.[/quote]

No, it cant and you are clearly too stupid to get that and to know that a card instructing one to check a FOOD choice in a formal wedding invitation is actually okay.   :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:   bwahahahaha   :roll:[/quote]

Different poster. You don't understand "bless your heart." It is very appropriate here.[/quote]
