I've seen in many occastions where it is given as RSPV at the end of the invitation. I'm eager to know what does it mean?

RSVP means that they want you to repond to an invitation, not just if you are coming, but also to let them know if you are not.
If you only want to know if the person will NOT be attending, you say "Regrets only." (That means the host will assume you ARE coming unless you call to say that you are NOT coming.)
I reached your query when i was searching for the same thing and coincidently, i had made the same mistake of mis- spelling it RSPV.
The actual abbreviation found on an invitation is,RSVP. and comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".
Bye,
