why do some people wrote down R.S.V.P. at the bottom of their invitation cards?  What does it really mean?

The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", \nmeaning "please respond".\n\nThey want to know if you're going to their party so they can plan enough food and such.

Yes, I'm afraid it is tacky, the names and addresses must be handwritten but it does not have to be YOUR handwriting.... addressing invitations is one of the jobs you can farm out to everyone...your mom, his mom, your bridesmaids, your kid sister, anyone who happens to be both literate enough to copy names and addresses and is in earshot.\nThe trouble with labels is that it makes your lovely invitation to a major and deeply personal rite of passage look like junk mail....I've heard of invitations being accidentally thrown away unopened based on the "commercial" appearance.

's shows posession.\n\nThe only way that "Thank's" would be used properly, is if you were talking about something that belonged to the Thank...  which makes no sense.

Print new invites if they haven't been mailed.  If not, do the line-out method.  Labels will look tacky, so I recommend avoiding that.  If they have already been mailed, you'll have to print an amendment card for everyone.  Something simple that just says "Please note the date of Jan & Joe's wedding is now January 1st, 2007.  All other details remain the same."  You could even include an apology and a 'we hope to see you there'.  : )

You're worried the printed notecards are impersonal, but you're willing to send a form letter?\n\nEnclose a personal note if you want to, but it's not expected. Announcements like that are just fishing for gifts anyway, so save your personal notes for the thank you cards.

It means invalidating your warranty.\n\nIt means that you think you know better than the card designer/manufacturer - who have nothing to gain by "under-marketing" a card...

See the link below for the source of the following:\n\nQ: When writing to someone who claims the title ''Esquire," I was taught to leave off the designations Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Also, what is the proper usage of Esquire when sending an invitation to a couple?\n\nA.W., Green Bay, Wis. \n\nA: ''Esquire" is a professional designation in the legal arena, not a social designation. When you correspond with a lawyer, you have two choices: Write the person using a normal salutation (''Mr. Robert Jones" or ''Ms. Cynthia Adams") or put ''Esquire" after the name, using the abbreviated form (''Robert Jones, Esq." or ''Cynthia Adams, Esq.").\n\nYou would never use both the courtesy title of Mr. or Ms. and the professional designation of Esquire. Finally, when writing to a lawyer and his or her spouse, never use ''Esq." Instead, address the couple as ''Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones."

What is the custom invitation written in?  or what is its file format?  That may give a better idea as to which program may be better to use for printing.  The program that creates the invitation impacts the printing along with the layout of the paper and how it must be fed through the printer.  \n\nI have done cards 4-up of similar size that I have created in Publisher and Word (Microsoft) for mailings, invitations, and presentation notes.

I make all my invitations (all occasions). Go to a craft store and buy blank greeting cards.  My handwriting is not so great so I buy stencils and stickers and just make them.  Not every invitation is the exact same that's what makes them unique. Have fun and be creative!

Usually this line will follow with a request for financial or personal information. Like "Congratulations, you just won a brand new PSP! All we require to send it to you is your full name and address. We will also require your social security number and birthdate for verification purposes" or "Congratulations, you have just won the yearly Food Mart draw for 1 million dollars! Every year we keep track of all the customers that come into our store and draw the prize for one lucky individual. All we need is your banking information/credit card number so we can put the money into your account!" These are both really lame examples, but I am sure you get the point. These scams are often ran on the elderly

R.S.V.P. stands for the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît (“reply, please”), so it doesn’t need an added “please.” However, since few people seem to know its literal meaning, and fewer still take it seriously, it’s best to use plain English: “Please reply.” It is a mistake to think that this phrase invites people to respond only if they are planning to attend; it is at least as important to notify the person doing the inviting if you cannot go. And no, you can’t bring along the kids or other uninvited guests

What's the context?  Is this referring to "self-addressed stamped envelope"?

I once got mails from a guy who always signed with BR and his name. It stood for Best Regards.\nTherefore, I would also suspect it is meant to stand for Regards..

Respondez-vous sil vous plait (please respond).\n\nThis means you have to tell the host whether or not you will go to the party.\n\nEven if you cannot go, the RSVP means you have to say you won't be there.  This is especially important because it allows the host to plan the event properly (seating, food, etc).
