The basics of good invitation wording

  1. Who is hosting and who is being celebrated
  2. What the occasion is
  3. When — day, date and start time
  4. Where — venue name and full address
  5. RSVP — who to reply to and by when

Then add one line that sets the mood: playful for a kids’ party, warm for a family puja, elegant for a wedding.
