How to Write an Invitation to a Party for Valentine's Day

Video transcript

A good Valentine's Day party invitation answers four questions: what the event is, when it starts, where it happens, and how to reply. Here is how to write one that guests actually read.

Skip stiff phrases like 'You are cordially invited.' Write the way you would speak to your guests in person.

Place the practical facts together in one block, in the same order every time. Keep each sentence short.

A vague request like 'let me know' leads to missed replies. Choose one reply method and set a clear deadline.

Send the first invitation early enough for planning, then send one short reminder to guests who have not answered. Guests who travel farther may need four or more weeks.

Read the draft once as a guest would, after setting it aside for an hour. Add any missing fact before you send.
