An "Event RSVP" is a request for guests to confirm their attendance at a specific event, such as a wedding, party, or meeting. The term RSVP comes from the French phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît," which means "Please respond." This helps the event organizers plan for the number of attendees, ensuring adequate seating, food, and other arrangements. Typically, RSVPs can be sent via various methods, including online forms, emails, or traditional mail. Guests are usually asked to respond by a certain date, allowing organizers to finalize their plans. Properly responding to an RSVP is considered good etiquette in social settings.
