Events, formal and informal, for a wide range of people and quite intimate, are held specifically for guests. Therefore, make sure that all guests receive invitations in advance with full information about the upcoming event.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your invitation with a message. In the official text, it is appropriate to use the wording "Dear sir / madam (surname)". The abbreviation "Mr. / Ms." can be used. If you are addressing by name and patronymic, omit the word "gentleman" and just write "Dear Sergei Dmitrievich."
In an invitation to an informal event addressed to a loved one, simply address by name or "Dear Elena".
Step 2
Devote the first sentence of the main text to the invitation itself: “We invite you to a gala banquet”, “We will be glad to see you at a charity concert”, “Let me invite you to a festive event”. Next, briefly and succinctly outline the purpose, nature and theme of the upcoming event, for example: "banquet / buffet / conference / meeting on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of our company."
In an informal invitation, you can enter in an original and unusual way: “We invite you to share with us the solemn day of our wedding,” “We hasten to share our joy,” and so on. The main thing is that the message is clearly understood by the recipient: he was invited to the event.
Step 3
Indicate the place and time of the event. Sometimes it will be useful to attach a directions to the destination. If necessary, indicate in the invitation the dress code for the invitees.
For a themed party in a friendly circle, the invitation should reflect the elements of the entourage of the upcoming holiday, setting the guests on the right wave. Warn the guests that the entrance to the stylish party is only in sun-flared dresses and stylish ties, and to the disco of the 90s - in leggings and dumplings.
Step 4
Be sure to sign your invitation using the appropriate courtesy formula: "Sincerely yours," "Best wishes," "Trustworthy to see you at the event." In the business text, in addition to the name and surname, it is also appropriate to indicate the position.
In an invitation to an informal (friendly or family celebration), sign the way the addressee of the message is used to contacting you. If you are inviting on behalf of your couple, politely sign the postcard as follows: "Nikolai and Marina" (for relatives on the man's side), "Marina and Nikolai" (relatives of his other half).
