♦ Invitation
To invite someone for an occasion, we use the written form Invitation.
Invitations are generally printed cards through which we invite our guests on some
auspicious occasions like wedding, birthday, wedding anniversary, house warming,
the inauguration of a shop/factory, etc.
♦ Invitations are of two types:
(a) Formal and (CARD)
(b) Informal. (LETTER)
These can be printed on cards or can be drafted in the form of letters.
♦ Main Characteristics:
An invitation is a complete information. It answers the questions: who, whom, when,
where, what time and for what. The important components of an invitation, therefore,
are:
Occasion
Name(s) of the invitee(s)
Name(s) of the host(s)
Date, time and venue.
Name(s) of the chief guest or special invitees, in case of an official invitation.
