Any Knot RSVP users here?

DH and I were invited to a wedding that we must RSVP for on the couple''s Knot website. When I go to the site to do this, there is only an option to enter my name which leads me to believe that I would be RSVP''ing "yes" to the event. Is this true?

We are not able to attend the wedding because we already have a trip booked for the same weekend. I am thinking maybe I should just send our gift and card early to the the couple, making it clear that we won''t be there, but I am not sure that is good enough. DH and I did not open any of our gifts until after our wedding, so had someone RSVPed for our reception in this fashion, we wouldn''t have known until after the event. I just don''t want them to pay for meals or expect us to be there when we won''t make it. Also, I sort of want the opportunity to tell them why we won''t be there. Thanks!

I''m using weddingchannel.com''s online rsvp, which is very similar to the Knot''s. When you enter your name, you get taken to another page with all the guests names listed out, and a yes/no option and entree selection.

Thank you, Happy Cat! I just successfully, and sadly, declined our invitation. I appreciate your help!
