RSVP is derived from the French phrase Repondez s'il touts phes which means "please respond". The RSVP etiquette began in the French court in the late 18th century. It has long been widely used in Western cultures. RSVP is a request for the people being invited (invitees) to confirm whether they plan to attend the event or not. Event hosts need to estimate the number of participants in order to better plan the event, for example, to plan the seating, to order food, goody bags, etc. In most Western cultures, invitees are expected to respond to RSVPs.

Answer 1

Answer 2

RSVP adalah singkatan dari frasa Prancis "Repondez s'il vous plait", yang berarti "tolong beri respons". Istilah ini sering ditemukan dalam undangan tertulis, di mana biasanya disertai dengan nomor telepon. Etiket RSVP dimulai di pengadilan Prancis pada akhir abad ke-18. Sejak lama, istilah ini telah digunakan secara luas di budaya Barat. RSVP adalah permintaan bagi orang yang diundang untuk mengkonfirmasi apakah mereka berencana menghadiri acara tersebut atau tidak. Tuan rumah acara perlu memperkirakan jumlah peserta agar dapat merencanakan acara dengan lebih baik, misalnya untuk merencanakan tempat duduk, memesan makanan, tas oleh-oleh, dan lain-lain. Di kebanyakan budaya Barat, orang yang diundang diharapkan untuk merespons RSVP. Dianggap tidak sopan jika tidak merespons, karena akan membuat tuan rumah kesulitan dalam merencanakan acara dengan efisien. Sebuah kartu respons sering kali disertakan dengan undangan pernikahan, di mana Anda dapat menulis informasi Anda dan menyatakan apakah Anda akan hadir atau tidak. Jadi, ketika Anda melihat RSVP pada undangan, harap hubungi tuan rumah secepatnya.
