Mini Lesson

Have you ever been invited to a party or a special event? An invitation is a written message that tells someone all the important things they need to know — so they can come and join the fun!

Part 1 — What is the event?

  • Start by naming the event clearly.
  • Example: You are invited to my birthday party!
  • Use an exclamation mark to make it sound exciting.

Parts 2, 3, and 4 — Who, When, and Where

  • Who: Write the name of the person being invited.
  • When: Give the day and the time. Example: Saturday at 2 o’clock.
  • Where: Give the place or address. Example: 12 Oak Street.
  • Always start the day and month with a capital letter.

Part 5 — RSVP

  • RSVP means "please let me know if you can come."
  • Write a name or number so the person can reply.
  • Example: RSVP to Mom: 555-1234.
