第二篇：6种英文邀请信范文
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.”

邀请信写作攻略
邀请信是写信人对收信人的一种盛情邀约，一般分为正式的和非正式的两种。格式与其他信函相同。具体写作步骤：首段：说明与收信人的相关性与写作意图。主体段落：具体交代情景：包括受邀请的人、邀请朋友要干什么、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。结尾段：表示期待朋友的回复。
就本质而言正式与非正式的邀请信并没有什么区别，只是正式的邀请信比较注意文采，而且往往需要表现出更大的热诚。邀请信一般都要求考生邀约朋友参加特殊聚会，共度假期，或者访问自己的家乡等, 考生可以采用半正式文体。

We can first go to the Century Park, where the flowers are all in blossom. Let’s go boating on the lake —isn’t it pleasant in the cool breeze? Then I will treat
you to dinner at a western restaurant on Huaihai Road—it is small but really nice—I’m sure you will enjoy it. After dinner, let’s go to a concert—you are a music lover, aren’t you?
If you couldn’t come, please notify me before Friday. If you can, please tell me which train you will take and I will meet you at the railway station. I am looking forward to meeting you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
