Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

1. Names of party hosts or sponsoring organization.
2. Type of event (birthday party, business networking meeting, wedding etc.).
3. Place.
4. Date.
5. Time.
6. RSVP date and phone number.
7. Any special dress requirements from black-tie to bathing suits.
8. Rain date (if any).
9. Be specific about who is invited, whether addressee only, with guest, or with spouse and children (have this at the bottom of the invitation)

Tips:

1. Always send written invitations for formal events such as business gatherings, formal dinners, and special occasions like showers, weddings or events honoring someone.
2. If guests are not from your local area, include a map to location of event, YOUR IN THE VALLEY... but HEY.. YOU NEVER KNOW!!
3. Send anywhere from 8 - 2 weeks in advance depending on formality of occasion. Weddings require the longest lead-time; casual dinners and brunches require the least.

FOR A WEDDING: it is VERY nice to receive a RESERVE THE DATE invite prior to you sending the formal invitation...
