We don't invite for a bris (I forget why, some more educated imas might know). We just "notify"/"inform".
Responding can be a neder. AYLOR

You just reply Mazel tov
You don’t say that you will come, because if you do then you have to go. We also don’t invite to a bris, we just inform others of the time and location
The reason I remember hearing by my first (I’ve made many brissim bh, I don’t have any girls!) is that eliyahu hanavi is present at a bris and if you say you will come then you have to. Now I’m realizing that I’m still unclear on the reasons

You shouldn't be getting an actual invitation. Just an announcement of the date/time/location. So, no need to RSVP.

We don't invite to a bris because it is known that Eliyahu Hanavi attends every bris (we even have a special chair put aside for him) and it would be considered disrespectful to be invited to a simchah where you know Eliyahu Hanavi will be and decline the invitation. Therefore we just inform everyone of the time and place, so that no one will be forced to decline.

Saw this after I posted my reply; you have the correct reason. It's so that we're not being disrespectful to Eliyahu Hanavi.
