rsvp - what dOes it mean?

haiz itz de wedding invitations & baby showers phase now

been asking around what does RSVP mean? and nobody seems to know..so common yet no one knows...do you? keke actually i'm as ignorant lah:

RSVP stands for the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît (“reply, please”)
so if u sending invitations, dun write (pls rvsp or rvsp pls) otherwise itz like (please reply, please or reply, please, please) haha sounds so desperate!

it also means there is a need to reply (not if you can then reply, if not keep quiet) & nope, only you are invited, so dont ask if you can bring along your partner/kid etc!

so if you see r.s.v.p. on an invitation, pls respond promptly!
