Purpose
•To invite someone to a particular event, e.g.
Party, presentation, meeting, or so on
•English : used to invite the person and to
ensure that person receiving the letter
•Two forms:
1.Invitation cards
2.Formal Invitation letter
The Structure Of Formal invitation :
Writing a Formal Invitation
-Place the organization or host's logo or graphic at the
top of the invitation.
-The host's full name should be used on the invitation,
without honorifics (Dr./Mr./Mrs.) unless there is an
official title.
-Extend the invitation. You can choose formal wording,
such as "request your presence" or less formal verbiage,
such as "cordially invites you to attend.“
-Provide information about the event. For instance, "a
breakfast," "an award ceremony," or "reception."
-State the purpose of the event. For example, "in honor
of...“
-Provide the date of the event
-Write the time of the event in full. Include words such as,
"in the morning" or "in the evening" if the event purpose
does not already make this clear.
-Provide the location of the event and its street address.-
Provide special instructions, if any. For example, if you are
including directions to the event location, state, "directions
enclosed.“
-Include your RSVP information. RSVP comes from the
French phrase "Respondez, s'il vous plat" which in English
means, "Please Respond."
Informal invitations follow the same outline and
structure, with slightly less formal phrasing. They can be
written on personal paper or correspondence cards,
rather than formal cardstock. Informal invitations can use
nicknames or initials in the name field, and dates and
times do not have to be completely written out. Use
more informal phrasing to extend the actual invitation,
such as “invites you to.”More informal invitations
typically use only the phrase R.S.V.P. and a phone
number, and locations can be listed in shortened form, or
omitted if all parties are familiar with the venue
