Summary

Have you ever received an invitation in the mail and, after reading

the complete invitation you saw these small letters at the end—

R.S.V.P.? Many in our busy culture do not pay attention to those

small letters, but they are very important. The letters are from the

French language, and mean: “répondez s’il vous plaît.” This directly

translates to, “Respond, if you please.” The acronym is often used

to confirm attendance at an event, such as a wedding, birthday

party or baby shower. If a R.S.V.P. is requested, good manners

dictate that you answer or give your regrets that you cannot attend.
