This is tricky....anyone know how it goes (invitation)

I just got my proofs back and the response card says:

We look forward to celebrating with you!
Please respond by March 29, 2005

M______________________

____ we'd be delighted to attend.
____ we regret that we cannot attend.

QUESTION: do the periods belong?????
if they do then the W's should be capital right???

Thank you

i don't think that you need the periods

I think they look great. I say keep the periods. But, can you change 'We'd' to 'we would' ?

the word 'we' may not imply if you are inviting a single person

I agree. 'We would' is more appropriate. Contractuons are for speech and only when writing dialogue. Unfortunately, this is another grammatical rule that is ignored. The nuns drilled that into me.

I would delete the period and change it to 'Will be delighted to attend' or 'will not attend', etc.
