Visiting Card Invitations

Visiting Card Invitations

With the exception of invitations to house-parties, dinners and luncheons, the writing of notes is past. For an informal dance, musical, picnic, for a tea to meet a guest, or for bridge, a lady uses her ordinary visiting card:


To meet

Miss Millicent Gilding


Mrs. John Kindhart


Tues. Jan. 7.

Dancing at 10. o'ck.

350 Park Avenue   


or


Wed. Jan. 8.

Bridge at 4. o'ck.


Mrs. John Kindhart


R.s.v.p.

350 Park Avenue   


Answers to invitations written on visiting cards are always formally worded in the third person, precisely as though the invitation had been engraved.


Special thanks to Emily Post on her wonderful tips on etiquette and invites.
