邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formalcorrespondence)，亦称请柬；一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence)， 即一般的邀请信。

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 nextFriday, May the fifth.”
