Example of a formal invitation letter?

Correct format:

The senders address is always printed to the top right of the page.

Including a stamped, self-addressed envelope is often a good idea.

Use full names and preffixes such as Sir, Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, Master, etc. Also, suffix names with any appropriate accademic titles. (O.B.E, Esq, M.S.C, etc)

Include a section for the invited party to complete their name and how many guests they intend to bring with them. Suggest a reasonable limit to the number of guests they can bring.

Suggested wording:

N.B: Names, dates & events are not real. They are examples only.

Dear Sir / Madam, (Delete as applicable)

You are cordially invited to a fancy dress ball celebrating the birthday of Miss Michelle Jackson. The event will take place at the Neverlate Ranch on Friday the 13th of June. Proceedings shall commence with a display of fireworks at 7pm sharp and a program of events will be issued to you upon your arrival. A five course dinner will be served in the dining hall at 8.30, whereby Miss Jackson will make her appearance and greet each of you personally. It is expected that you arrive wearing a black tie and tuxedo. Those who do not posess a bowler hat will be granted the loan of one upon entry. A full parking valet service will be in operation at the gate.

Please complete the details below and return this invitation to the above address by the 1st of January. Regrettably, replies recieved after this date cannot be accepted.

On behalf of Miss Jackson, I look forward to your attendance.
