So, what do you need to do to join the celebration?
RSVP to confirm your attendance. Please include the names of all attending with you. Anyone that wants to attend is welcome!
Send in the RSVP even if you can't go or might go.
This is important because it lets us know you received the info. If we don’t get a reply from you, we will assume our information did not reach you and we will keep trying to track you down. So, RSVPing a regret saves us time and effort.
