RSVP stands for "Répondez s'il vous plaît," a French phrase meaning "Please respond." Each letter represents the first letter of a word in the French phrase (R-S-V-P).

The term became standard on English-language invitations because it concisely communicates that the host needs an attendance reply by a certain date.
