How do you write a good invitation for a corporate event?

Question

Accepted Answer

A good invitation starts with a punchy subject line or headline. Make clear why this event is relevant for the recipient. Include the essential practical info: date, time, venue and dress code. Close with a strong call to register or confirm. Get people to block their diary early. Don't forget the registration deadline. Keep the text short: three to five paragraphs is enough. Write in the second person ('you'). Focus on the benefit for the reader. Don't list what the organiser finds special about the event. Close personally. A signature from the CEO or organiser adds weight to the invitation.
