7. In some invitations, we can find the term: RSVP, what does it mean?
Answer :
What Is an RSVP?
The term "RSVP" comes from the French expression répondez s'il vous plaît,
meaning "please respond." If RSVP is written on an invitation, it means the
host has requested that the guest respond to say if they plan to attend the
party.
How to RSVP
Invitations requiring an RSVP will have instructions how to respond. A formal
invitation, such as a wedding invitation, will have an enclosed response card
that you can return in its provided envelope. Informal invitations, on the
other hand, may have a telephone number, email address, texting address,
or social media method to reply, with instructions. Electronic RSVP requests
make it easy to respond by either email or links to a site with buttons to
accept or decline.
The RSVP should make it clear who is invited. Couples are often named
together, sometimes followed by "and family," which would include your
minor children. It may indicate you are able to bring a guest, often called a "
plus one." If you don't see any indication that the invitation allows you to
bring a wedding guest, you should assume it is only for you and anyone else
explicitly named.

There may be a blank to write in a number of guests. Check further on the

invitation to see what the limits are for a number of guests. If you are
considering more than one or two, contact the host to ensure the event can
handle the number you are proposing to bring.
When to RSVP
RSVP requests often include a deadline for response, as the host is finalizing
numbers for the caterer, event site, favors, and other event details. It's best
to respond as soon as possible rather than delaying. The host then may be
able to offer invitations to other people who didn't make the first cut for
invitations or accommodates extra guests of other invitees.
If you want to attend but are unable to give a definite response before the
deadline, it's best to decline. You can contact the host with your regrets and
explain what is keeping you from being able to know you can attend. Ask if
there is any flexibility but understand if there isn't. The earlier you make this
call, the better, rather than waiting until the host has followed up with
requests to return the outstanding RSVPs.
Canceling or Changing an RSVP
It is bad form to cancel an RSVP, with exceptions including illness or a death
in your family. The host will already have made plans based on your
attendance. The time to decline is when you make the RSVP, considering all
the factors as to your scheduling, finances, and other opportunities. If you
declined the RSVP but discover you can attend the event, contact the host to
see if it is possible.

Why It's Inconsiderate Not to RSVP

Many people don't RSVP because they don't want to disappoint the host.
This attempt to spare their feelings usually causes more trouble than a
simple no. An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems
for a host, including difficulty in estimating food portions, issues relating to
minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of
party favors, and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other
things.
Sometimes people don't send an RSVP by the
requested time because they are unsure if they will
be able to attend and don't want to commit to an
answer. If this is your situation, it's best to be
honest with the host about your situation. The only
way they can help make accommodations for you
is if they know you need them.
