在国际交往以及日常的各种社交活动中，这类书信使用广泛。

英文邀请信分为两种。

一、一般邀请信一般邀请信通常适用于一些平常的事情的邀请，而且邀请人同被邀请人之间很熟悉。

一般邀请信具有简短、热情的特点。

格式一般分为：第一，说明与收信人的相关性与写作意图。

第二，具体交代情景：包括受邀请的人、邀请朋友干什么、地点以及具体的时间等内容。

并且强调为什么邀请收信人而不是别的朋友。

第三，表示期待朋友的回复。

sample 1(formal):二、请柬（invitation card）这是一种正式的邀请信。

请柬的格式严谨而固定。

一般适用于较庄重严肃的场合。

格式一般为：第一，说明邀请对方参加什么活动、邀请的原因是什么。

第二，将活动安排的细节及注意事项告诉对方。

诸如时间、地点、参加人员、人数，做些什么样的准备及所穿的服饰等。

第三，为了方便安排活动，如有必要，可注明请对方予以回复能否应邀及还有哪些要求等。

sample 2(informal):★supplementary knowledge of writing写请柬时的注意事项：●邀请人和被邀请人要用第二人称，参加活动的时间地点也要写得清楚明确。

6种英文邀请信范文邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬；一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。

邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。

书写时应注意:邀请信一定要将邀请的时间（年、月、日、钟点）、地点、场合写清楚，不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。

例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确，所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”1. 邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheonDear [Zhang Ying]:Will you come to luncheon on [Friday, May the fifth], at [twelve o’clock]?My niece [Mary] is visiting us and I think you will enjoy meeting her.
