RSVP wedding

Question:
Hello, I recently received a 'save the date' card for my friends wedding, but it didn't come with a RSVP card. I was wondering how to RSVP in the correct way? Also the card says "invitation to follow Mr. and Mrs. McCormick" (the brides parents). Does this mean I have to address my RSVP to them or should I be awaiting an invitation? I'm very confused. What should I do? Yours sincerely, Julia Rivers
Answer:
The 'save the date' card is a way of telling you that you ARE going to be invited to the wedding and to make arrangements if they are needed. When the invitation comes, you will reply to the people to whom the reply card inside the envelope is addressed. Usually the bride's parents are the host/hostess of the wedding. No action is necessary on your part at this time, but when you receive the invitation, you should RSVP as soon as possible. You might also call your friends (if you are local to them) and offer them congratulations and an offer of any help you want to give them towards the planning.
