The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning please respond.

Both RSVP and R.S.V.P. are correct. As you already know from other answers, RSVP is an abbreviation for a french phrase meaning "return please." Because it's an abbreviation and a common standard nowadays, you want to use all capital letters. However, because the abbreviation doesn't stand for a title but rather a phrase, the periods are optional. Most commonly, the phrase is used without the periods, so that it what I would go with (RSVP). Keep in mind that other abbreviations work the same.

RSVP is what we see most commonly used on invitations; so I would think RSVP would be the correct way. RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Respondez S'il Vous Plait." In English, RSVP stands for "Reply Please!"

Technically, you may discover a thank you to respond, on account that no longer doing so is rude, regardless of the way rude they have been. yet just about speaking, I could say i does no longer. The very late invite the two potential they're throwing a extensive wedding ceremony collectively on the final 2nd (which in many circumstances potential it extremely is approximately presents) or you have been very low down in pecking order on the invite checklist. i might forget with reference to the completed ingredient, and of course no longer deliver a contemporary. in line with danger those human beings nevertheless have self assurance an invitation demands a contemporary (which has by no potential been real).

Proper way is R.S.V.P. but they should understand what you mean by any of those.
