A formal invitation letter is an official letter that is written to send out invitations to people either for business meetings, parties, or any event. It is also written in response to any type of official announcements. (www.sampletemplates.com)

A typical sample invitations letter will contain information about the host, the time, date, and venue of the affair. It will also specify how one would accept the invitation. (http://templatelab.com)

There are two tenses used in an invitation letter, they are present and the future. The present tense conveys information about the event and the future tense ensures the guest is going to attend.

The following is the example of a formal invitation letter:

Name ad Surname of the sender

Street Name and Number

Postcode and City

Country

MM/DD/YYYY

Name ad Surname of the recipient

Street Name and Number

Postcode and City

Country
