What Does RSVP Mean When You See it on an Invitation? hehehe i caught y'all on this one, most people would be saying to themselves rice stew very plenty abi? well you are wrong RSVP means nothing like it..Let's Clear Up the Confusion Over the Phrase "RSVP"..you can thank me later....

This tip should help hosts and guests alike, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of the term RSVP and what guests should do if they receive a request for them to RSVP.
I hear more and more often, and have found in my personal experience, that hosts often do not receive receive responses to their invitations. Therefore, hosts can't tell how many guests plan to attend their parties, even if an RSVP is clearly requested. This could mean either one of two things. First it could mean that rudeness is a growing trend in our society. Or, as I would prefer to believe, people no longer understand what the term means. Assuming the best, and that the reason guests don't RSVP to an invitation is a case of ignorance, not rudeness, I will clarify this for the record.

What RSVP Means
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 invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Why It's Inconsiderate Not to RSVP
An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.
So the next time you see RSVP on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.

So what are you waiting for...THANK ME NOW....LOL

Most Africans are not used to the idea of having to tell your host if you will come or how many of you are coming. If you call a party, be ready to feed the whole town! No be you get money to throway.
Even some people who write RSVP on their invitation cards don't even know what it means!

Thank you for wetin I know before? Mtschew

I know this already, and it's being misused in naija.

RICE STEW VERY PLENTY

In Naija, RSVP is just an ego tripping addition to the IV. As in, show off all the important persons that you know.

No one is interested in all those explaination,i either honour the invitation or nt.

Look ma, it made the front page!

Me wey comment first no make noise. Abeg park well!

so u don win GOLD shey

In skul i learnt it meant "reply if u pls.";-)

megxo: so u don win GOLD shey

I suppose flog u sef

And I ask again: is there anybody that determines what appears on the front page?
I'm beginning to think that the front page is on 'auto select' mode.

nice one, but the average Nigerian does not need an invitation before coming to a ceremony.
As long as they are eating, dancing or partying, he walks in eats, drinks and walks away, having no idea of what they are celebrating nor who is celebrating.

from the French phrase- répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning ''Please respond''

next topic pls

Well done @OP. The level of ignorance in our society is staggering. Rain checks like this is needed from time to time.
