I've never received a RSVP card before that didn't have words on it.
I can't go to the wedding so what do I write on this blank card?

1. Do NOT write "Can't make it to this one but please do invite me again next time"
Something along the lines of "Wish I could be there; will be thinking of you both" might do

4. "I'm sorry but I will not be able to attend
...wedding...on 9/10/11."

Sign your name.

Main thing is, keep it simple.

5. how to write a "regret formal rsvp".....
http://www.ehow.com/how_5664754_write-_regret_-formal-rsvp-invitation.html

Begin the letter by congratulating the couple, if it is a wedding invitation. If not, simply express your thanks for the invitation.

Proceed with your regret to the host. Use wording such as "John Smith regretfully declines the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Host for the first of September."

6. I'll give it a shot.
May your joys be limitless,
and your sorrows contained.
One of them being,
I can't make the plane.

(My aunt writes this kind of thing on every occasion card she gives out.)

7. I'd put about as much thought and effort into it as they did.

8. The bride truly won't care about excuses, so don't bother to explain why you can't come.
"Sorry I can't make it to your wedding. Congratulations!"
