RSVP is the abbreviation for a French phrase, "Répondez s'il vous plaît", which means "please respond". It is usually used in conjunction with an invitation, where the host needs to know how many invited guests will actually be attending. RSVP Etiquette: If the host is a friend or acquaintance, failing to respond to an RSVP request is considered most rude and thoughtless. Commercial advertisers have taken to including RSVP requests in their mailed promotions, to which you have no obligation whatsoever to respond; commercial use of an important social gesture is gauche and inappropriate.
