I just got a wedding invite in the mail from a friend of mine. It has all the info about the wedding (location, date, all that), but there is no info about RSVP'ing. Ive never been invited invited to a wedding on my own, so I dont know how m supposed to let him know Im coming, or even if I am supposed to RSVP, or what. Any advice?

If there is no RSVP on the invitation, they do not want it. They must not be serving a meal at the wedding. That is usually the reason for an RSVP.

Generally wedding invitations will come with an RSVP card that you fill out and mail back in with how many people are attending, and if there is a choice of meals at the wedding you list your meal preference as well.
If there is no such enclosure, then look at the invitation... does it ask you to RSVP? If so, just write a note to the individuals who issued the invitation.
It should say Mr. (& Mrs.) so and so Accept with pleasure the invitation to the marriage and reception for Bride and Groom.
If it does not say anything about an RSVP on the invitation it still probably wouldnt' be a bad idea to pick up the phone or drop them a note online just saying you received the beautiful invitation and you are looking forward to attending the big day.

You should always respond to a formal invitation. RSVP cards are really a modern invention, in the old days it was expected that you would write a note of response yourself, instead of checking off a card. Since none was provided, you should at the vert least call your friend and advise whether you will attend.
It's possible that it was an error when assembling the invitations. You might be the only person who didn't get one! But no matter what, don't assume- call or write.

an RSVP card, as we see now, is something to remind people to RSVP. Along time ago, I am not sure when though, it was just common courtesy to write a note on your own stationery congratulating the couple and letting them know if you are unable to attend or not, so if you do this it would be fun for the couple to get a letter in the mail (or you could send them a congrats on the engagement card, available at any card shops) congratulating them on their wedding and telling them if you can (or cannot) attend.

Chances are pretty good that your friend didn't get the 'Dear Abby guide to wedding' booklet or something like that...and doesn't realize that proper etiquette rules dictate a response card and envelope go along with the invite!
Go and get a nice 'blank' type of card at the local cardshop and write in your response to let him know you are planning on attending. If you are thinking of bringing an 'escort' (current partner or friend) don't assume they are welcome-add a note and ASK if it is okay to bring them along. This may be a low budget wedding and extra people may screw up the hotdog and hamburg count!

Personally I think it is only good manners that you reply to an invite, I would send him an RSVP, or at the very least call them so they know how many people to expect, perhaps they just overlooked that detail.

I would appreciate if any of my guest can call and confirm.
I forgot to include the RSVP cards on my wedding invitation, so may be that's what happened. What am doing now is calling them to find if they got it, then I ask them to let me know if they can join us.
Please call.

Hi. Well, I guess they are not looking for RSVPs, but if I were you, I would still call your friend to let him know that you will be attending.

particular, circulate forward and deliver it back declining the invitation. in the event that they are going to call people who have not replied, they could initiate doing that quickly, and additionally you will save them a telephone call. Plus (and this is from very own journey) adult males are actually not the main suitable approximately passing on messages approximately stuff like who RSVPed for the marriage to the girls of their lives. My husband has been basic to establish be sure/instructor conferences at our baby's colleges, and then overlook to tell me on the subject of the appointment. It have been given to the factor that i've got written notes to actual everyone that they do exactly no longer make the appointment with him--purely me. I a minimum of tell him...LOL So do no longer assume the groom has handed on your regrets to his bride. he's no longer thinking wedding ceremony 24/7 like she is.
