Learn English invitation text - This word is invited as an invitation. Invitation is a word that we hear very often in everyday social life. However, Do you know what the definitions, communicative goals (objectives), and generic structure (arrangement) of invitations in English are? Let's begin the discussion.

DEFINITION

"invitation" is a request either in the form of words or written to someone to do something or go somewhere.

Simply explain what is invitation? But in order to understand more here is a more comprehensive understanding of invitation.

Communicative Purpose Invitation Text in English

Actually, from some of the meanings that have been conveyed above, the communicative purpose of the invitation text is very clear, namely inviting or inviting someone to attend a certain event. In general, each invitation will be marked with the purpose of including the following phrases:

-Would you like to come ?

-Would you like to join us ?

-I would like to invite you

Generic Structure Invitation

In general, each invitation has its own uniqueness, but overall it can be underlined that the invitation (invitation text) will be written with the following structure:

1. Invite: Who is invited

2. Body of invitation: The contents of the invitation are usually in the form of the following:

Occasion: This invitation is made for what event

Day or Date: Day and date

Time: Time set

Place: The place where invited guests are expected to be

3. Inviter: Who invites

Once again the arrangement as above is just a general benchmark of how an invitation is written in English. And even so there will be many variations of the elements included in the invitation and it may differ from one another

DIFFERENCES FROM FORMAL AND INFORMAL INVITATION

In formal invitations there are certain patterns that must be followed especially in English. Because the scale of people downloaded is quite large and could have a high position. The structure must be clear and complete. Whereas informal invitations only need to convey complete information, so the structure is usually not given much attention.
