When we did invitations to our wedding we worried a lot about people showing up and not saying they would. Even worse, people showing up with plus ones or kids when didn't indicate that kids or extra people who weren't explicitly invited. We did see a novel way to deal with people not RSVPing and then showing up. When you send out the RSVP leave some piece of information out, such as the exact time of event. Then the only way people will be able to show up is to ask you when the time is. This isn't perfect, however, as they could just ask someone else who did ask you when it is.
