HOW TO
WRITE AN INVITATION?
A formal party or event
requires printed invitations, which should be mailed
four to six weeks in advance. If it is an informal party
you can opt for invitations bought from a shop and mailed two
weeks in advance. A phone call will suffice for the most
casual get-togethers.
Remember that an invitation is the real
start to the party, so set the mood. Be adventurous and
watch the fun begin early. |
INVITATION INFORMATION
1. Names of party
hosts or sponsoring organization.
2. Type of event
(birthday party, business meeting, etc.)
3. Place.
4. Date. (Alternate
(rain date) if any)
5. Time.
6. RSVP (Repondez S'il Vous Plait)
date and phone number.
7. Any special dress
requirements from black-tie to fancy dress.
8. Be specific about
who is invited. There is nothing worse than receiving an invitation and
being unsure about who is invited. Include or comment whether
it is addressee only, with guest, with spouse, partner,
children or bring the whole neighbourhood.
Tips:
Always send
written invitations for formal events such as business gatherings,
formal dinners, and special occasions like showers, weddings or
events honouring someone. If guests are not from your local area,
include a map to location of event. Send anywhere from 8 - 2 weeks in
advance depending on formality of occasion. Weddings require the
longest lead-time; casual dinners and brunches require the least.
