Answer 1

FORMAL INVITATIONS

Main Characteristics:

⟶ A formal invitation is normally a single sentence presentation in third person.

⟶ Formal invitations are generally printed invitation cards. We use them to invite guests on some auspicious occasion like birthdays, weddings, inauguration of shops, houses, etc.

⟶ The invitation answers the questions who, whom, when, where, what time and for what, i.e.,

• the occasion
• name(s) of the invitee
• name(s) of the host
• dates, time and venue

⟶ The other details include name, designation and address of the organiser, sponsor or host or the name(s) of the chief guest or special invitees, in case of an official invitation.

⟶ Printed formal invitations don’t include the name of the addressee.

⟶ Invitations to VIP to preside over a function do carry the name of VIP prominently.

⟶ Length as per CBSE guidelines is limited to 50 words.
