What wording should a party invitation use
Keep it to a host line, an event line, a details block and an RSVP line. Write ‘Join us for’ instead of ‘You are cordially invited’ unless the event is formal, and give the RSVP deadline its own sentence so it is not skimmed past.
How do you ask for no gifts?
Say it plainly and early: ‘No gifts, please — your company is the present.’ Putting it on the invitation stops guests asking the host in the week before.
How should you word an RSVP request?
Give a name, a number and a date. ‘RSVP to Anna on 5550 1234 by 12 May’ gets replies; ‘RSVP’ with no deadline and no contact does not.
