Because we are complicated, our wedding invitation was idiosyncratic. Letterpress, with hand applied watercolor to pick out the green in the intertwined letters. And a dictionary definition of marriage: "the combination of the king and queen of the same suit, as in pinochle".
Needless to say, we did not include a preprinted RSVP card, because I believe that everyone ought to know how to respond, properly, to an invitation (and, furthermore, that thank you notes are to be hand-written and put in the mail).
My absolute favorite response was from a dear, crusty, across-the-street neighbor. If memory serves, it was the first response we got, and it was perfect.
Happy nineteenth anniversary, dear.

That's lovely. Happy anniversary!
I remember that day!
Though I don't recall if I wrote an acceptance note...
Julia, I was thinking the same thing! Though it was my first solo outing after I had my first baby so maybe I got a pass......
And a beautiful day it was.
Congratulations Maggie and Will.
Fabulous Ruth. How I miss her.
Congratulations to you and the man, and the girl too, for that matter...

I think a lot about those Reid Ave. women. Ruth's lillies are just about to bloom in my garden. And your wedding Maggie, was great fun!
Love that response! Hope you had a wonderful anniversary.
Oh, that's delightful. Yes, to handwritten thank you notes and their delivery method being via the post.
