I have not needed to create one before. It is definitely been an incident of ticking a container on the card and delivering it right back. The marriage is for two good friends nevertheless the Rsvp has been delivered to the brides parents. Is it better to send a notice or a card? What advice do you include? What if the tone of it be like? Serious, light-hearted or a little of both? Any guidance will be welcome. Thanks ahead of time.

What can I do next?

UPGRADE: Wait. Are you stating you are sending out RSVPs having a wedding invite, or that you are RSVPing to a wedding invite that you received?

If it is the very first, then choose my links...if it is for the latter, and there wasn't a Rsvp card contained in the invite, only write (certainly) that you (and other people who had been asked around the invite) may be attending.

"Ms. Sally Smithson and Mister. Robert Tulle will both be attending."

Keep is easy and brief.

Most wedding invitations come with a response card and a stamped return envelope. All that is required is yes or no and how many attending and all should be clearly on the card.

do a little googling. There are hundreds of sites with advice on wedding invitations and rsvps. You can even put in "wedding rsvp" and look for images.

If you've already sent the RSVP, you don't need to send another one. The bride and groom will know you've sent it to her parents.

If you haven't sent the RSVP because it's not a check-it-off type, just send a short note saying that you'll be delighted to come to the wedding and are looking forward to it. Short and pleasant is the way to go. If the invitation includes your family or a guest, you need to mention who else will be coming. If there's a reception involved, they need a head count.

A formal invitation is responded to in the following form:

Mr. and Mrs John Smith
are pleased to accept
Mr. and Mrs. James Albright's kind invitation
for the wedding of their daughter
on May 6, 2013

Or to decline:

Mr and Mrs John Smith
regret that they are unable to accept
Mr and Mrs James Albright's kind invitation
for May 5, 2013

Nothing else needs to be said or is expected. Written in hand, on a folded note or note paper.

Of course if it was a casual invitation, such as a phone call, just return the call and say whether you will be there. Remember that the RSVP is always given in the form of the invitation.
