What is the full form of RSVP?

RSVP: Repondez s’il vous plait

The full form of RSVP is “Repondez s’il vous plait“. RSVP is not an English acronym. It’s French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît (RSVP), which means ‘Please respond’ in English. As such, it has no direct full form in English. If you must have one, it can be ‘Respond soon, venerable person’. It is often written at the end of an invitation or sent as a RSVP card along with an invitation card to mean that you should let the people who invited you know whether or not you are coming.

The host organizing the event wants to know whether you will attend the event or not. In simple words, he wants the confirmation to his invitation in a polite way. It is also a courtesy of responding to someone who is nice enough to invite you. So, if you see RSVP on an invitation card, call your host and confirm him whether you will be coming or not to attend the event. Usually it is used by the host to have an idea of the number of people attending the occasion.
