Invitation notation (4)

I believe the answer is:

rsvp

(Other definitions for rsvp that I've seen before include "Reply to invitation initially" , "Notation meaning answer the invitation" , "Please reply (abbrev.)" , "Invitation abbreviation" , "'Please reply, initially (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
