Hi Pam,
You could change the names of your "Cancel" and "Next" buttons on the first page of registration to be "Register" and "Decline".
To have the system actually keep track of accepted vs declined, I think you would need to use the data codes {[E-RSVP YES LINK]} and {[E-RSVP NO LINK]} that can be included in emails. I don't think they can be included in the reg website itself.
Cheers,
