• Synonym何卒なにとぞFormal「何卒」is a formal, deferential plea, mostly in letters and speeches, as in 「何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます」; it is more respectful than 「どうぞ」.
• Synonym是非ぜひNeutral「是非」signals strong desire, as in 「是非来てください」; 「どうぞ」centers on politely asking or inviting rather than on eagerness.
• SynonymぜひぜひCasual「是非是非」is 「是非」doubled for emphasis; in colloquial speech it conveys a very strong wish.
• Related是非ともぜひともNeutral「是非とも」presses for something no matter what, as in 「是非ともお越しください」; the urging is far stronger than a polite 「どうぞ」.

Choose 「どうぞ」for polite requests and invitations. For solemn pleas in letters or speeches use 「何卒」. To stress strong desire, use 「是非」, or the even stronger 「是非とも」; 「是非是非」is its colloquial emphatic form.
