You hand write a short note on plain stationary. It's format and wording should be very similar to that of the invitation.
Mr & Mrs John Doe
Will be pleased to attend the marriage of
Miss Blushing Bride
and
Mr Charming Groom
and the following reception
on Saturday the First of April.
If the wedding is in a church, then you are 'honored' rather than 'pleased' to attend. If you aren't going to the wedding, then line #2 reads "Regret they will unable to attend the marriage of" and everything else stays the same.

My best friend and her husband did not send out RSVP cards. They know, for the most part, who was coming and they didn't need to know a specific number. If an invitation doesn't have an RSVP card, then they probably don't need a head count -- afterall, that is usually the purpose of an RSVP card.
If you want to call them and let the know, you can do that. But I would casually tell the one you know best that you will be coming and are looking so forward to it.
And in your defense, the people who answered are generally dumb.
To the majority of responders: Do you really think a bride and groom would "forget" RSVP cards? Do you honestly think they expect their guests to make their own cards? This isn't BYO RSVP card. And who wants 200 phone calls? Think people -- put yourself in the couples place. It's an easy way to save money if you don't need a formal head count.

In your defense, I say "duh!" to the bride and groom. If I'm understanding you correctly, you received an invitation in the mail with all the info, but they didn't include an RSVP card. If that's the case, then I'd say you can use what ever means you'd like to RSVP. If you'd like to save 37 cents (or a stamp), calling them and RSVPing is completely appropriate. email would work just fine, too. I'd even say you'd be okay informing the family or whomever you know best (if you don't know the bride and groom well). You should RSVP in some manner, but since they didn't provide a card, it's open season.

Did they have RSVP written on the invitation? If so, it may have been an over-sight and someone just forgot to stuff the return in it, if RSVP was not written then you are not obligated to RSVP because they apparently don't care if the guests come or not and don't be worried about it.

You would write them a note and put it in your own stamped envelope. The return address should be on the outer envelope that the invite came in.

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to get an envelope, address it, get a piece of paper and write in your rsvp, and mail it. Hello ??!!! Anyone in there Sparky ??

Call them or spring for your own paper, envelope, and stamp. It's only around 50 cents all told!

You write a short note on a note card, that you would be happy to attend so and so's wedding on whatever date it is. You put it in an envelope, addressed to the return address on the invite. You then put a stamp on it, and put it in a mailbox.........and then Mr. Mailman delivers it to the address......
it's amazing what they can do these days................

Maybe they don't need an RSVP. If there was no card then they probably are not requesting it.

Geez you a great camper! :) I'm still waiting for card from some guests (not even a call to say whether he or she is coming to our wedding) eventhough i've specify a deadline for the card to reach us.
