It is necessary
- - a pen;
- - paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that the invitation must correspond to the theme of the holiday. It must be drawn up in accordance with the rules of etiquette. There are various forms of writing the text of the invitation (for example: official, sincere, poetic). In which of them to compose the text of your postcard, depends not only on the type of event you are inviting guests to (wedding or children's birthday), but also on your relationship with them.
Step 2
The official version of the invitation letter should be used if you are inviting a person (guests of honor, older people, distant relatives) to a serious event: opening a restaurant, congress, wedding, etc. The text should contain only official words containing maximum information and minimum emotions. Such an invitation begins with the words "Dear Sir", "Dear Madam", etc.
Step 3
The sincere and poetic form of the invitation text is suitable if you want to put sympathy, sincerity in the written lines and emphasize that you are not indifferent to every guest. Begin your soulful invitation with the words "Dear", "Family", etc.
Step 4
Determine the total number of guests to invite, and then make a complete list of guests. Think about who will come with their soul mate, who with children, and who alone. Those guests you want to see as a couple or family are usually given one invitation for all.
Step 5
Write the name of the ceremony (wedding, birthday, christening of a child, wedding) and the address where it will be held. Indicate in the invitation the day, month, date and exact time where the celebration will take place. It is advisable to leave contact phone numbers in case the invited guests or you have any unforeseen circumstances (for example, someone is sick, the time has changed).
Step 6
If you are arranging a birthday for a child and invite his friends, but are going to set an adult table, then by all means write that you are expecting a baby and his mother, father or grandmother to visit.
Step 7
Write additional information on the back of your invitation card or postcard. For example, you can ask a guest to call you in order to discuss the details of the celebration.
