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.
