How this looks on a digital RSVP form
With InviteTools, your invitation page carries the wording you choose directly above the RSVP form. Guests choose attending or declined, add meal choices if you enable them, and submit — their answer lands instantly in your live guest list, no re-typing required. You can also limit plus-ones on the form itself, so no one can invent extra seats no matter how the wording is phrased.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most common wedding RSVP wording? "Kindly respond by [date]" and "The favour of a reply is requested by [date]" remain the most widely used formal lines, while "Please RSVP by [date] — yes or no both help!" is popular for casual weddings.
Do I need different wording for a digital invitation? Not really — the same lines above work on screen. The main difference is that a digital RSVP form replaces the mailed reply card, so your wording should point guests to "tap below" or "reply here" rather than "mail the enclosed card."
