How to Write an Invitation

The invitation is an important part of organising an event or social function as it helps set the overall tone for the event and will help determine the number of guests attending. Learn how to write an l invitation, and adhere to specific formats and guidelines so both you and your guests will be well-informed about your event.

Writing an Invitation
1.    
1
Place the organization or host's THE PERSON INVITING logo or graphic at the top of the invitation.
Ad
2.    
2
The host's full name should be used on the invitation (Dr./Mr./Mrs.) unless there is an official title.
       
3
Extend the invitation. You can choose wording, such as "request your presence" or less formal words such as "cordially invites you to attend."
       
4
Provide information about the event. For instance, "a breakfast," "an award ceremony," or "reception."
       
5
State the purpose of the event. For example, "in honor of..."
       
6
Provide the date of the event. Depending on how you want the invitation to be, you can either write the date out completely, as in "Thursday, the eleventh day of May" or keep it short such as, "Thursday, May 11." Writing it out is the more best way to write the invitation.
       
7
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. For example, if an event is taking place at 8:00 p.m., you would write, "At eight o'clock in the evening." If the event is a breakfast or a dinner, the additional words, "in the morning" or "in the evening" would not be required.
       
8
Provide the location of the event and its street address.

     Tips
.       All wording should be done in third person. Example, "John and Jane Doe invite you to their...." instead of, "We invite you to our..."
·         You can make your invitation short by writing things specifically and understandable.
