The wedding invitation you receive should provide an RSVP card. If you are bringing a guest, be sure to include that on the RSVP (if you are allowed to bring a guest, the card will say YOUR NAME AND GUEST).

Let them know that you're coming, by way of letter, card, or personal conversation. When an invitation has an RSVP, the family assumes you're coming unless you tell them otherwise. But if an invitation has a "Regrets Only" note on it, you should only call the family about the wedding if you're not going to show.

When I was planning my wedding, I really appreciated people replying in writing, that way you could remember exactly who said they were coming! And it's nice for the bride and groom to keep the little cards and letters. You can buy formal RSVP cards, or just write a letter or card. If you are going, you need to say if it is just you or are you bringing a guest.

Easy.
RSVP requires only you answer: Repondre S'il Vous Plait.
Any way is good - usually the invitation will provide you with a phone number to call.

Send back the RSVP card by post if you were given one with the invitation (this is the usual process so be weird if the bride and groom hadn't sent them) otherwise reply in writing e.g. write a short note in a card saying i/we, then your name(s) would be delighted to attend/regret i am/we are unable to attend the marriage of 'names of the bride and groom' and then sign it with best wishes. It should be in writing though as this is a busy and stressful time for the couple and they may forget if you just tell them on the phone. DeBretts modern etiquette guide has sample letters on this sort of thing

Some initiations have a reply card, send this back if not you can buy a wedding invitation acceptance (or refusal) card send one of these It looks as though you have taken some time and effort and thought to reply to them.

Mr and Mrs Jones kindly accept your invitation to the wedding of your daughter, Mary on January 10,2007 at 7PM. Or Mr and Mrs Jones regret they cannot attend the wedding of your daughter on January 10,2007 due to a prior engagement.

It's best to RSVP w/ the "respond" card & envelope provided w/ the invitation...even if you tell them verbally.

In writing. Every time.
Follow the form of the invitation. If it's formal, write a formal reply, if it's informal, a quick note will do. Either way, a pre-printed card will do the trick nicely.
