Help! Etiquette for "Dr." response cards

Not rude at all. The M is standard for RSVP. Not all doctors get uptight about being called Mr and Mrs instead of Dr. Unless we are in their office I don't refer tto them as Dr.

You are probably over thinking this. I don't think anyone will get upset. This is standard practice for RSVP cards. You can also just leave the line blank if you want.

It's not rude and you are free to do what you like. But please show respect for the Dr.

I never knew what that stupid M was for. I had it removed from our RSVPs because it annoyed me. Why is it an M when it should be an N for NAME?! NOW I KNOW! lol

In the response case, I wouldn't worry about it too much since people know those are pre printed in bulk, but definitely address it properly on the invitations (which I totally didn't consider since my FMIL jumped the gun and pre-printed them all for us)

I think you are totally overthinking this. No one should get offended.

Some don't use Dr. in social situations.

None should take offense at the M________

A guy named Michael wrote in ichael after the M.

Lmao Nancy. That's pretty hilarious. But yeah I wouldn't worry about it. I'm inviting a judge so that should really be "The Honorable..." but I'm just leaving the M on there anyways.

On my reply cards I'm replacing the "M" with Mr/Mrs, because I think the "M" is weird and confusing. I think as long as you get their title right on the envelope, they won't mind the M (or whatever) on the reply card.

No doctor will expect you to print one RSVP card special for them.

Some people don't even write Mr after the M.

Pretty much all RSVP cards have the M_________ due to space on the card, some do have names________ instead if there is room on the card so you could change it to names if you wanted,

I don't think it would be rude, but as some of the ladies above have said if you can remove the m and replace it with name or leave it blank do that.

Four years of college, Four years of Medical school, and then 3-7 year residency depending on your specialty. Please respect the Dr. People go threw a lot to have those 2 little letters in front of their names.

OMG I just notice we are name twins lol

Definitely don't worry about it on the response card because (as many have said) no one expects you to write them a special card that says Dr. _____. For the envelopes, though, make sure you address them properly. This goes for other guests with special titles (doctors, judges, people with high ranks in the military, like Captain ___, reverends etc.)

I am having a bridal shower for my future daughter in law, she is a Dr. She doesn't want Dr. On the bridal invitation, just her first and last name. Is that ok to do?
