Sending someone else in one's place after RSVP

Q: I want to find out if A and B are invited to a wedding or walima and have to Rsvp. They Rsvp but in their place C and D go. Is it correct if C and D go without asking the host. Or do u have to take permission from the host to take another person in your place.

A: They should be asking permission.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
