Objective

I can write an invitation that tells who it is for, what it is for, when it happens, where to go, and how to reply (RSVP).

Materials

Mini-lesson — What makes a great invitation

An invitation is a friendly note that says, "Come join me!" The best invitations are short, clear, and easy to read.

Five things to include

  • Who is invited (a name).
  • What the event is.
  • When it happens (day and time).
  • Where to go (place).
  • RSVP (how to reply).

Make it easy to read

  • Write neatly and leave a little space between lines.
  • Use a capital letter for names.
  • End sentences with the right mark: . ? !

Friendly start and finish

  • Start with a greeting like "Dear Sam,"
  • Finish with your name: "From, Mia"

Quick check: "Can someone read it fast and know who, what, when, where, and how to reply?"

Guided Practice — Invitation words warm-up

Choose 3 sentences from the Trace menu and copy them neatly on paper. Then use the Tracing Pad to practice words, sentences, and marks.

Drag & Drop — Put the invitations in order

Each set shows three lines from a short invitation: the invitation line, the time and place, and the closing. Drag the lines into the best order.

From, Sam On Saturday at 3 p.m. You are invited to my birthday party.
On Tuesday after school at my house. From, Mia You are invited to come play with me.
From, Max On Sunday at the big park. You are invited to our family picnic.
