How Do You Write a Short Invitation Message for Father's Day?

Video transcript

A short Father's Day invitation should be easy to read and easy to answer from a phone. Here is how to write one your dad understands within seconds.

Decide how your dad talks before you type a single word. Some dads enjoy a joke, while others prefer a quiet brunch or a loud backyard lunch. Think about whether he laughs easily and whether he likes hearing about the food or the people who will be there.

A message under forty words is easy to read on a phone. If a sentence only repeats the date, cut it.

Every invitation should answer five questions before your dad asks them. Put them in this order so he never has to search for the basics.

One link keeps the details, the map, and every reply in one place. Send it once, then keep a simple note of who said yes, maybe, or no.

Prepare your invitation at onlivita.com, share one link with the whole family, and follow every reply in one place.
