What is an RSVP
RSVP stands for "RƩpondez s'il vous plaƮt", which means "Please answer" in French. RSVP is used on wedding invitations and other formal invitations to indicate that recipients should let recipients know 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 a RSVP-request, it is important to reply on time and to clearly indicate whether you will attend or not. If you are not sure whether you will attend, it is polite to let us know in time so that the organisers can make their plans can adjust.
