RSVP is an important part of your wedding invitation. When you make your guest list and send out the invitations to the people who matters, it is not a guarantee that all of them could make it. RSVP helps you to finalize your wedding guest list. It helps you manage your food and seat allocation. If you are able to make an effective RSVP, it avoids no-show guests and unexpected guests.
