Rsvp?

what does it mean? something like a reservation?

 

RSVP stands for a French phrase, "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which means "please
reply."

 

répondez s'il vous plaît

ie: translated from french: "please reply"

 

haha... damn, you beat me to the chase.

 

so if i'm RSVPing for a party, and i want to bring more people, should i also post their names also?

i'm sorry, i'm new to this exclusiveness thing.

 

i would.. just to be polite

 

what party u going to? Can I come?

 

RSVP means what they said, but it's often misused.

It is not a verb, so "I would like to RSVP" is a silly turn of phrase.

And a person does not "MAKE an RSVP" -- that's even sillier.

so use it in a correct sentence to teach us oh wise one!

 

post their names...? i'm not following.

i take it you got an "rsvp" invite to a party; did it say it's ok to bring a guest or guests? i'd simply call the host and let them know you'll be there, and ask if it would be acceptable to bring some friends.

 

I agree I agree.
Good answer! *audience clapping*

 

no, i got a direct invite from the dude and he told me to email another address with an RSVP.

 

i would only email the address(es) that he asked to you invite, and if you want to invite more people, check with the host first.

 

I'll respond to this even though you're a smartass.

For one thing, "RSVP" IS a sentence, in acronym form. You've already seen what it means, in the French. "Respond, if it pleases you" is the literal translation.

You don't use RSVP "in a sentence."

The only correct way to use RSVP is to have it appear on the invitation, standing alone.

"You are hereby invited to our gala event to be held on ** day at ***.

Black tie.

RSVP by **/**/**"

You don't hand the person back the "I will attend" card and say, "Here is my RSVP."

Here is my what?? How the hell do you give someone "a" "repondez s'il vous plait"?

So in answer to your challenge, there IS no "correct sentence" in which to use RSVP.

Thankfully, I've stayed clear of those.
