Post to a host (4)

I believe the answer is:

rsvp

(Other definitions for rsvp that I've seen before include "'Please reply, initially (4)'" , "Answer the invitation briefly, please" , "Brief notation to say, answer the invitation" , "Can you come to the party?" , "Letters on an invitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
