What is an RSVP

RSVP stands for "Répondez s'il vous plaît", which means "Please reply" in French. RSVP is used on wedding invitations and other formal invitations to indicate that recipients should let it be known whether they will attend the event or not.

The RSVP deadline is the date by which recipients of the invitation have to confirm their attendance. This helps the wedding couple or event organisers get an accurate headcount and arrange enough food and drinks for all attendees.

If you have a invitation received with an RSVP request, it is important to reply in time and clearly indicate whether you will attend or not. If you are not sure whether you will attend, it is polite to let them know in time so that the organisers can make their plans can adjust.

Telephone RSVP

If you use telephone RSVP, make sure you have a clear message on your answering machine with your name, phone number and information about the event.

Post RSVP

If you are using post-RSVP, you should include a return envelope with the invitation have that the recipient can use to let you know if they will participate.

Online RSVP

Online RSVP is a quick and easy way to manage invitations. Many people use online invitation services that support RSVP, including Evite, Punchbowl and Paperless Post. These services make it easy to send invitations, manage RSVPs and send reminders to those who have not yet responded.

How to use RSVP information

After you receive the RSVP information, you can use it to book the event plans and determine how many people will attend. This will help you make decisions on factors such as the number of chairs, tables and the number of food and drinks needed.

Conclusion

RSVP is an important part of invitations and it is imperative to make sure it is used in the right way. Whether you use telephone, postal or online RSVP, it is important to ensure that you receive the information you need to make the event successful plans. By using RSVP in the right way, you can be sure that your event will be a great success.
