inFormal invitation Informal invitations follow the same outline and structure, with slightly less formal phrasing. They can be written on personal paper or correspondence cards, rather than formal cardstock. Informal invitations can use nicknames or initials in the name field, and dates and times do not have to be completely written out. Use more informal phrasing to extend the actual invitation, such as “invites you to.” More informal invitations typically use only the phrase R.S.V.P. and a phone number, and locations can be listed in shortened form, or omitted if all parties are familiar with the venue

You can choose formal wording, such as "request your presence" or less formal verbiage, such as "cordially invites you to attend." - Provide information about the event. For instance, "a breakfast," "an award ceremony," or "reception."

- State the purpose of the event. For example, "in honor of..." - Provide the date of the event - 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. - Provide the location of the event and its street address. - Provide special instructions, if any. For example, if you are including directions to the event location, state, "directions enclosed." - Include your RSVP information. RSVP comes from the French phrase "Respondez, s'il vous plat" which in English means, "Please Respond."
