what does RSVP mean. like if you're going to a party of some sort

In this case it means: "Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "Respond please." -- Barrylb 11:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RSVP Australia

If it's notable/worthy of a mention, then create an article instead of just putting in the listing on the main RSVP page. --Mikecraig 01:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there would be enough material for an article. The same argument could be made for every other item on the article which is clearly not appropriate. Since when are we not even allowed to mention a website? I am not putting www.rsvp.com.au on this article with the intention of advertising it. I am putting it as a useful service because if someone hears 'RSVP' mentioned in Australian media it quite often means the website. It would be useful to mention it in this article. -- Barrylb 10:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'm so glad this page exists!

I, as a "morbid" radical inclusionist and maximalist (anti-deletionist; anti-minimalist) am very happy to see pages like this. It's like a breath of fresh air, from all those times I've seen the cliche "Wikipedia is NOT a dictionary". To whoever made this, please keep up the good work (carry on!)

[edit] Etiquette

The person sending the invitation would like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation; that is, will you be coming to the event or not? Etiquette rules followed in most Western cultures require that if you receive a formal, written invitation, you should reply promptly, perhaps that same day. For hosts who are planning a dinner party, a wedding, or a reception, this is important from a practical point of view, because they need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, is the simple courtesy of responding to someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you regret that you will not be able to attend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrylb (talk • contribs) 08:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from article

Anonymous contributor says: "According to the Wright version, RSVP in English means "Respond So Very Politely". Let's forget about the French way and do it the right way by using the English translation.". Barrylb (talk) 15:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RSVP Vacations

I'm going to add a definition to the gay vacations/cruise company, RSVP Vacations, as it is both mentioned in the Planet Out article, and it is occationally used casually in pop culture for some time now (e.g. and episode of the television Popular). Kurtto (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
