The abbreviation I.N.R.I. is inscribed on all Christian crosses. What does it mean?
Jesus of Nazareth. King of Jews.
The words were "Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm."
"I" instead of the "J", and "V" instead of "U"
(Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum).
Here is the link to an article from Wiki that could explain this better than me.
INRI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Additionally ....

R.S.V.P. is very important. This means that the sender is expecting your reply - an accept or a decline.
This informs the sender how many people will be attending the invitation and allow him/her to be prepared appropriately.
Never ignore RSVP invitations.

I'll Never Return Idiots
