6.4. A LETTER OF INVITATION
An invitation letter is a formal way to invite colleagues and clients to
events which are being hosted by the company and are one of the most
popular ways of inviting guests to functions. The professional invitation
should be written in a formal tone.
The introduction allows the host and sender to introduce themselves,
as well as the organization in which they have chosen to represent. A simple
background of the individual or company will suffice in this section of the
letter.
Next, in the body of the letter it is important to outline all of the
information about the event. The date and time should be included as well
as the theme and purpose for the event. At this point, a date should be
mentioned in which guests should provide their reply by, attire and items
required for the guest to bring.
Next, in one sentence, the appreciation for the guest to attend the party
should be shown. This can be completed with a formal note, stating that you
look forward to seeing the individual at the event. Remember, this needs to
keep in tone with the rest of the letter.
The conclusion should contain the sign off and a line that ties the
complete letter together, drawing the end of the invitation, with a salutation
and a signature.
A friendly invitation letter is similar to a business letter but contains
less formal speech and can make nuances with memories that may be shared
with the guests whom are being invited to the occasion.
Friendly invitation letters are used for a variety of reasons from
engagement parties to wedding invitations. They can also be used for
personal parties as well as housewarming get together. Personal invitation
letters should be signed with a less formal sign off, such as: yours sincerely,
best, or sincerely (Figure 6.6).
