Do you have an engagement, wedding, or graduation coming up? Is there a performance, school event, or meeting to which you want to invite people? Do you want to invite someone to speak at your meeting or conference? Whatever your event is, the following will help you write an effective invitation. Guidelines for writing invitations:

? State the occasion, date, time, and place. Include addresses and a map if necessary. Mention if refreshments will be served. List any charges that may apply. Include a telephone number for RSVPs. If there is a dress code, state the preferred dress in the lower left-hand corner of the card.

? If you need a response, include a self-addressed, stamped reply card or envelope with your invitation.

? Express that you are looking forward to seeing the person.

? Do not use abbreviations and do not use contractions (don’t; we’ll) except for name titles, such as Mr., Mrs., etc.

? If dinner will be served, state two separate times: the time people can start arriving and the time dinner will be served.

? If you do not want gifts, briefly state that gifts are not desired or needed. Explain that your guests presence is the only gift you need.

? Make sure you send out your invitations with ample advance notice.

? If you have guests coming from out of town or from other countries, you may want to send out your invitation several months in advance (especially if your event takes place around a holiday). This will allow your guests adequate time to make preparations, reservations, save money, etc.

? For smaller, less formal events that include local guests or guests from nearby areas, you may only need to provide a few weeks’ notice.
