pending an rsvp vs pending a rsvp

Both "pending an RSVP" and "pending a RSVP" are commonly used, but the correct form is "pending an RSVP." The word "RSVP" is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît," which translates to "Please respond." Since "RSVP" starts with a vowel sound, it should be preceded by the article "an."
