RSVP (invitations)
In the context of social invitations, RSVP is a request for a response from the invited person or people. It is an initialism derived from the French phrase ''Réspondez s'il vous plaît'', literally "Reply if you please" or "Please reply". The acronym "RSVP" or the phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît" are sometimes still used in current French to require confirmation of an invitation.〔Invitation〕 In French, however, the acronym SVP is used to write "please", and RSVP could be written "répondez SVP".
== Emily Post ==
The high society of England adopted French etiquette in the late 18th century, and the writings of Emily Post aim to offer a standard no more stringent than that tradition. Late 20th century editions building on her 1920s work say, e.g., that "Anyone receiving an invitation with an R.S.V.P. on it is ''obliged'' to reply....",〔Emphasis as in original; (''The new Emily Post's Etiquette'' ), Emily Post & Elizabeth L. Post, Funk & Wagnalls, 1975〕 and some recent editions describe breaching this standard as "inexcusably rude".
Emily Post advises anyone receiving an invitation with an RSVP on it must reply promptly, and should reply within a day or two of receiving the invitation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Invitation Etiquette )〕
