How to RSVP to a wedding invitation by email wording examples?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Reply to the email address on the invitation, using the subject line 'RSVP: Your Name'. Write a warm, simple message confirming whether you can attend, and include any dietary needs or questions you have.

Start your email by thanking the couple for the invitation. Then state clearly whether you will attend, using phrases like 'We would love to join you' or 'Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it'. Keep the tone warm and personal, as if you were writing a card.

A good example for accepting: 'Dear [Names], thank you so much for inviting us to your wedding. We would be delighted to celebrate with you. Please let us know if you need any more information from us. With love, [Your Names]'.

For declining: 'Dear [Names], thank you for the lovely invitation. Sadly, we won't be able to attend, but we send you all our best wishes for a wonderful day. Warm regards, [Your Names]'.

If the invitation asks you to reply by a certain date, make sure you email before then. If you have dietary requirements, mention them politely. If you are replying for a partner or family, include everyone's names. If you are unsure whether the couple prefers email or a reply card, check the invitation instructions first.
