what is RSVP that we write in wedding invitations...?

Answer 1

Respondez sil vous plait, French for please respond.

Answer 2

RSVP stands for a French phrase, "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which means "please reply." The person sending the invitation would like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation. Etiquette rules followed in most Western cultures require that if you receive a formal, written invitation, you should reply promptly, perhaps that same day. For hosts who are planning a dinner party, a wedding or a reception, this is important from a practical point of view, because they need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, is the simple courtesy of responding to someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you regret that you will not be able to attend.

Answer 3

RSVP, whether in a wedding invitation or any other inviation, means that you are asked to reply to the sender and say whether you will attend, or whether you will not attend, the activity. It is used so the host/hostess can know how many people will attend and make appropriate plans for sufficient seating, food, drinks, etc. Thus, it is important to also reply as to how many of "you" will attend. If you are bringing someone (only with the permission of the host/hosesss, of course), then you should identify how many will be in your party. When RSVP is used, it is important to reply promptly and not to wait until a later time to reply. If the invitation is addressed to Mr. and Mrs., then it is expected that the invitation is for both persons. If the invitation is addressed only to you, it is understood that it is for you only unless it says that you may bring a guest. If it does not refer to a guest, but you want to bring a guest, you should ask the host/hostess whether you can bring a guest.

Answer 4

RSVP means that the person needs to tell you whether they will be coming to the wedding reception or not. So you know how many people you are paying for.
Just include a small card that says how many attending ___? Or put a line next to the meal choices. If they put a number next to the line then that is how many people are attending. Then state the date of when they need to reply by on the card. (example: return by March 23, 2006) And include a stamped envelope with your address on it already.
