For events that require seating arrangements, please write "Please reply" on the envelope. If you only need replies from those who are not attending, you can write "Please reply if you are unable to attend."

There is also a lot of knowledge here about the etiquette of asking for bundles. Let’s talk about how to arrange the format and content of asking for bundles.

An invitation, commonly known as an invitation, is a written notice sent specifically to invite guests. It is a simple and clear letter. It is a post style used to show courtesy and respect to guests.

The current invitation is made of hard card paper and is divided into two parts: cover and inner text.

.A cover format invitation is an agreed notice inviting relatives, friends, colleagues, or relevant units or individuals to attend a ceremonial event or meet with you or your unit.

The purpose of invitations is varied. You can ask someone to help you. It could be participating in a ritual activity. It can be discussing cooperation, discussing issues, negotiating business, or it can be a polite meeting, visit, return visit, etc.

Invitations are more ceremonial than appointments. When a person or a unit wants to hold a certain ceremonial activity, it should be more thoughtful and comprehensive. As long as you have some connections, you should try to invite them. Even if you know that the other party cannot come, you can still invite them, because invitations have ceremonial significance. Notifying the other party with an invitation letter will also know what activities you are holding. Make the other person feel that you are polite and respectful to him. It is conducive to the further development of the relationship and the words "invitation bundle" or "invitation card" should be written in large characters in the middle. The font can be written by hand with a brush. It can also be written in artistic calligraphy. Some use small characters to write the event content at the top, such as XXX commemoration party, gala party, birthday party, etc.

. Write the name and title of the invitee in the first line of the text format, or you don’t need to write it.

Please leave two blank spaces in the middle to write the activity content, time, location, etc.

Write a blessing or prayer at the end.

The last name of the inviting unit or individual and the time when the invitation was issued.

Requests for invitations Since poems are a polite post to guests, they should be made as delicately as possible to show a solemn attitude. The general requirements are: the cover should focus on style design, It should be beautiful and generous, so that the guests will feel cordial and happy after receiving it.

The text within the text must be accurate and concise, as well as elegantly worded, full of emotion, and humble and sincere. If you use classical Chinese, be sure to understand the original meaning.

Don’t send your invitation too early or too late, lest the other party forgets or is caught off guard.

If you are inviting people to watch the performance, you should attach the ticket.

Informal invitation Informal invitation is also called a verbal invitation. There are different forms of invitations such as face-to-face invitations, invitations by trustees, and invitations by phone. It is mostly suitable for informal contacts.

Verbal invitations are more natural and are often used by relatives and friends who are familiar with each other. To invite poems, you can go to the invitee's home to invite poems in person during break time or in the evening to show your solemnity. You can also call to invite. This method is more flexible and can not only save time, but also let you know the other party's opinion immediately.

Informal invitations should also state the time, place and activities of the invitation. Sincerely invite the other party to participate.

Taboos on invitations:

As for the taboos on inviting the other party, there are two points that need to be noted: First, do not be sincere and tell the other party frankly that you invited him. The main content is a business event or a small-scale private party. If it is a business invitation, do not communicate on the phone. Also, don’t mention sales, don’t mention meetings, and don’t hesitate. Be brief and to the point, and tell the person that the invitation is primarily for the opportunity to meet.

Second, if you invite multiple people at the same time. Then you should pay attention to see if the people you invite are familiar to each other. If they are familiar, you should invite them separately to avoid letting them get along and affect their mood. Moreover, there should not be too many objects to invite poems to, so as not to overwhelm them.

Understanding these etiquette and taboos about inviting poems, you no longer have to worry about organizing business meetings and family gatherings. There is no difference in etiquette, plus a sincere invitation. Will the other party not be happy to participate?

Wedding invitation etiquette

Invitation invitation

Invitation invitation is the most common invitation method, which is not only traditional but also formal. The main information of a wedding is printed on the invitation: the name of the couple, hotel address, wedding time, etc., which makes it clear at a glance. And this invitation method is simple and direct. Anyone who has received an invitation knows that it’s time to prepare a red envelope!

The invitations currently on the market are mostly divided into Chinese and European styles. The Chinese style is mainly red, which is traditional and festive; the European style is richer in color, including white, pink, and gold, and the content of the invitation is also richer and more personalized. Although European-style invitations have only become popular in recent years, they are also accepted by more and more newcomers and are used quite frequently. So this kind of invitation is actually quite popular. After all, the model is fixed, the only difference is the wedding information that the couple needs to fill in.

The personalized invitations that are customized according to the wedding theme are different. They are new and unique, and they will definitely not conflict with others when sent out! I think this is the meaning of customized personalized invitations, to show uniqueness and freedom. The first step of the wedding is to leave a deep impression on the guests and fill them with enthusiasm and anticipation!

SMS invitation

Use the form of a multimedia message, with the couple’s names on it. Wedding photos, below is the wedding information edited by the editor. It is very environmentally friendly and very innovative! However, this kind of invitation is not suitable for elders and colleagues, and it will make people feel less formal.

If the elders in the family are more particular about it, they may still be upset about this and feel that they are not respected! Therefore, it is recommended that this invitation method is only suitable for friends, because everyone is young and can understand each other better. , and it is easier to accept new things! However, after the text message invitation is sent out, it is best to make a phone call to ask the other party whether they have received it and whether they can attend. You should also have an understanding of the number of people attending so that you can arrange seats yourself.

Telephone invitations

Two of my friends got married, and both of them were invited by phone. Although it feels a little informal, since my home is far away, it is indeed inconvenient to send invitations.

It’s just a phone invitation, but there still seems to be something missing in the delivery of wedding information. It would be better if you can add a text message invitation after the phone invitation. Especially if it is sent out two or three days before the wedding, it can also serve as a reminder. After all, a phone invitation is not so impressive!

Time to send out invitations

Traditional paper invitations The invitation must be delivered to the invitee in person, so that it is formal enough. Generally, the time for sending invitations is controlled to be one month to half a month in advance. If you send it too early, you are afraid that the other party will forget it; if you send it too late, it will not be conducive to the other party's reasonable arrangement of their travel time. If you need to send e-invitations or invitations by phone or text message, it is more appropriate to send one to half a month in advance. Just remember to call again 3 to 5 days before the wedding to confirm, just in case the other party is busy and forgets.
