As usual, no-one bothers to spell French correctly!!
RSVP = répondez s'il-vous-plaît
which means 'please respond'. It is found on invitation cards for events and is a request for the recipient to reply indicating whether or not they can attend said event.

Repondez S'il Vous Plait, it is French, literally, "Respond if you please" and is used to indicate that a response is needed indicating whether the recipient will be attending the soire that the invitation was for, so that sufficient ammenities (Food, place-settings, etc) are available.

repondez s'il vous plait
It is French for "reply please"
A funny English take on RSVP is "respond so very promptly"!
