INTRODUCTION
a. Meaning of Invitation
An invitation is a written or verbal request for someone's presence or
participation in an event, activity, gathering, or occasion. An invitation is a
request or an attempt to get another person to join you at a specific event.
Invitations can take various forms, including physical cards, digital messages,
verbal requests, or even symbolic gestures, depending on the context and culture.
They typically include details such as the date, time, location, purpose, and
sometimes RSVP information for the recipient to respond and confirm their
attendance or regrets.
a. Definition
An informal invitation is an invitation that is sent for personal occasions to
close friends and family members Unlike formal invitations, informal invitations
do not follow strict rules and do not require all the pomp and ceremony of a
formal invitation.
Forms of Greeting/Salutation:
In informal letters to friends and family, you can address them by their names
prefixed by qualifying terms such as Dear, My dear, Dearest, etc. You can also
address them by their pet names. Example: Dearest Rosy, Dear Andy, My dear
Sweet or by their relationship with you (Dear Uncle, Dearest Grandma, My dear
Cousin). If you are writing to an ordinary friend who is older than you are, or of
superior rank, it is respectful to use prefixes such as Mr, Mrs, Ms, etc. For
example, Dear Mr Reddy.
Introductory Paragraph
The tone of your letter can be set with a brief introductory paragraph. An
excellent way to begin is to ask about the health and wellbeing of the recipient.
Here, you should explain the purpose of the letter and include relevant
details. Remember to consider who you are writing to so as to decide the kind of
tone to use. When writing to a friend, you may use a more casual style than when
writing to an older relative. Take care to be respectful, even if it's informal and
friendly.
Conclusion:
End the informal letter on a friendly note. Use words in such a way that the
recipient feels like they have had a wonderful time chatting with you. See to that
you make sure you let them know that you would be awaiting their response to
your letter.
Forms of Subscription/Signature:
Close the letter with a dignified and courteous closing. A note that says
“regards,” written in the bottom right or left corner can be used for a more
professional touch. A more casual tone is suitable when addressing a close friend,
family, or relative. You can use: Yours sincerely, Your loving wife, Yours
affectionately, Lots of love. A signature and name should follow the final
greetings.
