Informal invitation vs. formal invitations
An informal invitation resembles a business letter. When sent from a business office, the letter is sometimes keyboarded on executive stationery (公司办公信笺), which is smaller than the regular business letterhead. Although many formal invitations are handwritten, especially for smaller groups, formal invitations generally are printed and follow formats found in etiquette books (礼仪手册).

Wording of invitations
Wording of invitations should be conversational, as though the writer were extending the invitation orally. A general invitation should be cordial and sincere, while a formal invitation should be less personal, written in the third person.

Often formal invitations include “RSVP” and a telephone number. The RSVP notation means “Please let us know if you plan to attend.” It informs invited guests that the host is expecting an immediate telephone reply to facilitate plans for the event. If an invitation includes “Regrets only”, it will require a reply only if the invited guest cannot attend.

Deductive pattern
Invitations are written in the deductive pattern and are relatively short. Either kind of invitation, however, must do three things:
Invite the reader to the gathering.
Offer a reason for the gathering.
Give the date, time, and place of the gathering.
