3. a. Read the advice below. Who is it for?

1. The first things you should put on your invitation are the names of the party hosts or sponsoring organisation. Your invitation wording should include the type of event (birthday party, business networking meeting, etc.) to which your guest is being invited.

2. The next item you should write on your invitation is the place where the event will be held. If guests are not from your local area, include a map to the location of your event.

3. Clearly write the date of your party, including the day of the week and time of the party.

4. You'll want to ask your guests to RSVP to your event, in order to let you know if they will be actually coming. Include with your invitation information telling your guests how to RSVP. This might be a phone number, e-mail address, or response card.

The term RSVP comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please reply". It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event.

5. List any party "rules" if you have them. The invitation should clearly explain any themes and dress codes. Specify if special dress is required such as black tie, business casual. Also, inform the guests if your party has theme such as the 60s or a pyjama party.

6. Send invitations anywhere from eight to two weeks in advance depending on the formality of the occasion. Weddings require the longest lead-time; casual dinners and brunches require the least.

Tips

• Sound excited! If your words are dull and lifeless, then it's a reasonable conclusion that your party will have the same mood.

• Use humour. Party is about having a good time, and your invitation should reflect that. Include a quote or joke to match the intended mood of the party.

• Invent a theme. If your party doesn't have a central theme, you can still invite guests to wear their best tropical shirt, baseball hat, or concert T-shirt for guaranteed conversation starters. This simple instruction promises a lot of fun ahead!

• Choose a great font. Whether you print your own invitations or simply write them out yourself, the font (or handwriting) can have a big effect on your message.

3. b. Read the advice carefully and look at the invitations in ex. 2a again. Find illustrations for each piece of advice in the invitations.
