It could be a little bit like the

style.

Americans have at least one special rule for invitations. On formal 
invitations they spell honour correctly. I have no idea why. Perhaps 
when Webster decreed that Americans spelled things without the (u), 
the rich had tonnes of "request the honour of your presence" 
pre-engraved cards and it became a tradition.
