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.
