What information should be included on an invitation?

A complete invitation should clearly communicate the key event details:

• Event name or occasion
• Host names or organization
• Date and time
• Location and address
• Dress code (if applicable)
• RSVP instructions
• Deadline for RSVP
• Contact information or website
• Additional details (parking, schedule, etc.)

For formal events like weddings or galas, wording and hierarchy of information are especially important for setting the right tone.
