RESPONSE (RSVP) CARD

1. Definition of RSVP Card

When receiving an invitation or letter that says ‘RSVP’ you are expected to
respond as the whether or not you plan on attending the event the invitation and/or letter
speaks of.

The origin of RSVP comes from the French phrase, ‘Respondez s’il vous plait’
and means ‘please respond’

The proper way to decline an RSVP is with a letter saying, “I regret to inform
you I must decline.” And/or ‘RSVP, regrets only.’ This is highly recommended for doing
if you don’t plan on attending the event. Most commonly an unanswered RSVP is
considered to be a simpe way of accepting. Sending your regrets is the only true way to
stop confusion if you don’t plan on attending.

2. General Function of RSVP Card

RSVP card usually included in an invitation, and the invitee should return it to
the person who invites him/her, to confirm his/her presence/attendance. Another way to
let the invitee respond to and invitation is by writing ‘Regrets only’.

So we can conclude that, the function of RSVP Card is to confirm the invitee’s
presence/attendance in the event.

3. RSVP in Text Conversations

Example 1:

You receive a beautiful wedding invitation in the mail and after opening it, you see that it
says, ‘Please RSVP’. Many will do this for weddings and large catered events to ensure
they have plenty of food for everyone coming and if you don’t respond back with yes,
more than likely you won’t be welcomed at said event.
