We've been having a blast getting back the very creatively written blank RSVP's from our friends and family. Ours said only the equivalent of "Please respond by..." Two today were particularly entertaining.
One was from my cousin M, who is a hot-shot doctor who runs a big research institute, and has received state honours for his advances in his area of medicine. Anyway, Dude, like everyone else, was not addressed as "Doctor" on his invitation, just by his name. So the RSVP says something like "Ms. Cousin's Girlfriend and DOCTOR Cousin joyfully accept." DOCTOR. Yes, sir. Noted. DOCTOR. Bow bow. Scrape scrape. The emphasis was pretty hilarious.
But that was nowhere near as good as the first one that arrived today, via e-mail. I read a suggestion on here about putting a tiny number in the corner of the RSVP card on the back, in case someone forgets to write her name. I thought this was brilliant, and did so.
One of FI's friends, who is hysterical, noticed the number and got all mock-upset about having been assigned a 'number' and has, since he got his invite, been referring to himself on the phone and in all his e-mails and things with FI as "No. 67" instead of by his name.
No. 67 was invited to WP1 and WP2, the invitations for which were in different languages, and were differently formal to match the different formality of the events
So today he scanned and e-mailed his truly hilarious RSVP which was written in a mess of 3 languages, mixing up different degrees of formality. It is a work of art and made us laugh out loud. The best is that it has no name on it. But it ends with the fabulous flourish in French that "Nr. 67 dira OUI!"
We've got poems and drawings and all kinds of silliness. Ah. Yes. I can't recommend blank RSVP cards highly enough. The entertainment value alone is worth any possible mix-ups.
