    Otherwise,
    just buy a blank card with a flower or something 'pretty' on the front and write inside:-


    Thanks for the wedding invitation I would love to come

    <Your name here>

    And post it to the address on the invite.

    Its just good manners to reply to a formal invite and the Bride will like it.
    Thanks Pogle. I'll change it to "I'm looking forward to it". If I put I'd love to come they'd think I was taking the piss. I don't do sincerity that well.

    Indeed: it should normally come from the bride's parents, inviting one to the wedding of their daughter to X; and therefore the reply should go to them, who sent the invitation.

    But IMHO the basic principle is that if someone asks for a reply, then you reply to them (unless of course it says "RSVP to ..."). If the invitation doesn't come from the bride's parents, there may be a reason for that.

    As said, if you want to go send a card, if you do not want to go text his fiancé and ask if she wants a last minute one before the big day. They should get the message.

    Technology is a wonderful thing.

    It seems 100% clear to me:

    1. It says RSVP. That means Répondez S'il Vous Plaît, so it would be rude not to reply.
    2. A reply would naturally go to the person who sent the invitation.

    All perfectly logical.

    PS can anyone tell me why they say "invite" for "invitation"?

    It depends on how the invite is worded - if it's from the parents you should reply to the parents. If it's from the couple, then you should reply to the couple. I believe the formal forms are;

    Mr. Sock Puppet
    accepts with pleasure
    the kind invitation of
    Mr. and Mrs. Smith
    to the wedding reception of their daughter
    Helen
    and
    Mr. John Matthew Jones
    on Saturday, 23rd March
    at 3:00 pm

    I suppose it's cheaper than buying one of those Citroens that vibrates the drivers seat when straying from lanes. Hmm perhaps that explains the lady I was following the other day...
