How to write an Invitation Letter (Revisi)

• An invitation letter serves the purpose of inviting a guest to a

party, an event or a celebration while conveying more
information than a traditional invitations card. It serves two
purposes; one, to invite the individual to the event and two, to
ensure that the person receiving the letter is going to attend.
• There are two tenses used within the invitation letter, the
present and the future. The present tense conveys information
about the event and the future tense ensures the guest is
going to attend.
Business Invitation Letter
An invitation letter is a formal way to invite peers 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 introduction allows the host and sender to introduce
themselves.
In the body of the letter it is important to outline all of the
information about the event.
The appreciation for the guest to attend the party should
be shown.
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.
Friendly Invitation Letter
• 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 and showers to wedding invitations. They can
also be used for personal parties and showers 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.
