A letter of invitation is written to people
inviting them for a special occasion or event in
your
personal and professional life. An
invitation letter is written for business events
as well as for
personal occasions like
birthdays, family reunion, etc. Before drafting
the letter, first seriously
think about the
event. Once you have decided that the event is for
official purpose or personal then
you can
begin writing the letter. The letter has to be
formal invitation and should have all the
relevant facts.
Your invitation
letter should include:
--the name of the
person sponsoring the event (who is the
hosthostess?)
--exactly who is invited
(can someone bring a guest, spouse, child?)
--what type of social event is being held
--the date, address, and time of the event
--directions or a simple map if the location may
be difficult to find
--what type of dress
is appropriate or preferred
--the phone
number and deadline to reply; precede these facts
with “R.S.V.P.” (French
abbreviation for
“please reply”).
And you should try to send
your invitation letter two weeks or more in
advance!
Invitations are written in the
deductive pattern and are relatively short. Either
kind of invitation,
however, must do three
things:
Invite the reader to the gathering
Offer a reason for the gathering
Give the
date, time, and place of the gathering
A
conversational, cordial and sincere invitation
will make the invited people feel comfortable
and happy to accept.
TIPS
1.
Highlight the purpose of the gathering (meeting,
conference, party, etc.).
• 2. Make the reader
feel hisher attendance is truly expected.
• 3.
Provide all the details that the recipient needs
in order to attend: date, time, location,
etc.
• 4. Ask for a response, by a specific date if
necessary.
