RSVP = Respondez s'il vous plait
In French, in English it means: Please Reply
This is used in invitations to ask the invited to please let the person who's inviting know it you're going to the party/activity. It just means that you have to let the person inviting you KNOW if you are going or not, and if you're going alone or with someone.

It may be French....but seeing how it's on an invitation, located next to a phone number (usually), and "coincidentally" is using the letters RSVP....you could just remember or make the meaning "Reserve (RSV) Place (P)......much simpler than a French quote... LOL :)

Repondez sil vous plait. It's French meaning, Please Reply. When invitations are sent out you have to reply to either confirm whether you will be attending or how many people you will be bringing along, so that the host can arrange things accordingly. Nowadays, we write it but don't really expect a reply.

It's French for Please Respond- Repondez Si Vous Plaisez
On an invitation card, it means you should reply to the party if you are attending the function or not.

R.S.V.P. Repondez S'il Vous-Plait. "Please send a response confirming whether or not you will accept the invitation." The abbreviation is French rather than Latin. Literally, "Respond if it pleases you." Note that it is redundant to write, "Please RSVP," since the phrase itself implies "please." Usage: "You are cordially invited to a wine-and-cheese reception at the Bradson's House. RSVP by Thursday afternoon."

It means to contact the people and tell them you will come so they know how many people to prepare for and how much Beer to buy.

It means "Refreshments Served Very Promptly" so when you show up, snap your fingers and someone willput a drink on your hand straight away.
