According to Miss Manners, you shouldn't even have RSVP cards; the guest should reply himself or herself. And you're supposed to follow the wording of the invitation: "Miss Jane Doe accepts the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith for August 22, 2011, for 7:00." In blue or black ink on white or ivory paper.
My cousin once received an invitation like that, only her reply was a little chattier, and her husband's aunt, who was the mother of either the bride or the groom (I forget which), called her up and chewed her out over it. So much for etiquette.
