RSVP means:
Respondez S'il Vous Plait
or in other words:
Reply if you please
or in simple terms:
Please send an answer to my invitation (and then it usually gives you a date the reply is required by - probably for catering purposes and finalising of numbers attending)
It is common courtesy that if the invitation states an RSVP - that you DO reply.

It is an abbrevation of the French phrase Respondez S'il Vous Plait meaning please respond with an answer.

RSVP may refer to:
* "Répondez s'il-vous-plaît" or "Réservez s'il-vous-plaît", a French phrase that translates to "Please respond" or "Please book your place".
* "Response Shall Verify Presence", an English substitute for the meaning of "R.S.V.P."
* "Response Solicited for your Valuable Presence", another English substitute for the meaning of "R.S.V.P."

Translated into English it literally means, Respond If You Please! It is French: Répondez S'il Vous Plaît and simply means please reply.

"Respondez, s'il vous plait" -- or, please respond. They want to know if you're going to attend the event to which you've been invited.

The letters stand for "repondez s'il vous plait," which is French for "please respond."
