Suddenly there is a spate of happenings.....
the phone bill shot up...
my free time is a thing of past...
my hangouts are long forgotten...

The time has come when I bid good bye to my single status and follow the natural progression of life.

Abbreviations on wedding cards

Following are some of the abbreviations I have come across on wedding cards.

  • RSVP
This is a French phrase - répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning "Please respond."
  • RSVP, regrets only
As an extension of the above, this is written when expecting a lot of persons to attend and only those who will not be able to attend should respond.

Wedding vs Marriage

One of the most common mistake on Indian wedding cards is the use of
word marriage in place of wedding.

Most online references define marriage as 'a life-long union' and
wedding as 'the occasion'.

Keep this in mind while designing your card.
