    Based off the French saying "Repondez S'il Vous Plait"




    More information:

    RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Repondez S'il Vous Plait." In English, RSVP stands for "Reply Please!"

    If you have received a wedding invitation with an RSVP notation, you are being asked to respond and let your hosts know whether or not you are able to attend.


    If you are sending a wedding invitation with an RSVP notation, you are asking guests to "Respond Please" so that you can plan appropriately.

    It's French in origin and means "répondez s'il vous plaît". It pretty much translates to "please reply". Basically just call ahead and let them know you're coming.

    "répondez, s'il vous plaît"

    In English it means "please reply". It sounds more like begging in English.

    Placed at the end of an invitation, it means - Please let me know if you are coming to my event. Very important to the host/hostess so they can plan enough food, drink, etc.
    Sometimes it says RSVP Regrets only - this means only tell me if you aren't going to be able to make it, if I don't hear from you I assume you'll be there.

    Please confirm attendance - Let me know that you are coming so that I don't have to cater for 50 people when only 10 are coming. It you don't respond I'll leave your name off the guest list and tell the doorman to turn you away.
