Short answer
To confirm an RSVP, reply to the couple directly using the method they provided, such as email or a reply card. State your name, whether you accept or decline, and any dietary or access needs, and send it before the deadline.
Confirming an RSVP simply means sending your reply clearly and on time. First, check the invitation for the reply method and deadline. If it is by email, write a short message with your names in the subject line. If it is by post, fill in the reply card fully and post it early.
In your reply, confirm whether you will attend. For example: 'This is to confirm that [Names] will be attending your wedding on [date]. We look forward to it.' If you cannot attend, say so kindly: 'We are sorry to confirm we won't be able to attend.'
Include any dietary requirements, allergies, or access needs, such as wheelchair access or a quiet space. If you are bringing a partner or children, name them. If you have not heard back from the couple after sending your reply, it is fine to check in politely with a short message like 'Just checking you received my RSVP'.
Remember that your RSVP helps the couple with catering, seating, and final numbers. So confirm as soon as you know your plans, and update them if anything changes before the wedding.
