Writing a Business Invitation Letter by Sally Vale

A business invitation letter serves two purposes:
  • invites clients/coworkers to an event or
  • Ensures that the client/coworker will be attending the event.

Keep tense in mind when differentiating between the two purposes:

  • Present tense is used while inviting the attendee
  • Future tense is used when ensuring the attendee will come to the event.

It is important to keep a professional tone throughout the letter.


In the introduction, give a brief background of your organization, and what the event tends to accomplish.
In the body of the letter, include the outline of how the event will go, the date and time of the event, and the date by which the receiver should R.S.V.P.
In the closing sentences of the letter, you should tie the letter together with a quick statement, and thank the reader for their time and in advance for responding.

Here is a video overviewing the basics of writing an effective and professional business letter:
