How to invite guests

First of all, you need to make a list of potential guests, and only then think about the invitation. If you invite a lot of people to visit, It is necessary to take into account their mutual relations: if among the guests there are people who do not sympathize with each other, the atmosphere during the holiday can be tense.

It is important to remember that invite guests in advance. If you invite a person at the last minute,the probability of getting a refusal is great: he certainly has plans that he will not be able to change for you. In addition, having received an invitation the day before the holiday, he may think that they forgot about him (or someone refused, and he is invited to "replace").

At not very significant events (like friendly gatherings for tea or something stronger) you can invite for three days, for family holidays and parties - during the week, and for large celebrations (wedding, anniversary, housewarming) invite for four to five weeks.

You can invite guests at a personal meeting, onphone, on social networks, by sending a written invitation. It all depends on the planned format of the event and your relationship with those you invite. However, whatever method of invitation you choose, remember that invite guests should be personally, you do not need to send invitations through third parties.

Of course, it is best to invite a person to visit in person, but it is important to remember that it is indecent to invite someone in the presence of people you are not invited to invite. If you can not personally invite, you can call. Just do not write SMS - this is acceptable only for very close friends and not the most important events.

Personal invitation and invitation by phoneare more acceptable for narrow family holidays and friendly activities (meeting classmates, a festive party, etc.). For significant events is more appropriate formal invitation form - written invitations.

Such an invitation specifies the nature of the event, the date, time and place of its holding (it is possible with a travel plan), a form of clothing. Spouses usually send one invitation for two, and the name of the husband is put on the first place. You can also send an invitation like "+1", if you want to invite someone with his second half, but do not know her. Written invitations are often sent by post, but the most honorable guests need to hand them in person.

Creating a mass event in a social network is not the best option for inviting guests. First, some users declinesuch invitations without looking, considering them spam. Secondly, every guest wants to feel special, not one of many. So even if you create an event in a social network, it is better to insure yourself and write to each potential participant personally.

Even if one of your relatives and friends comes to visit you on all holidays and his presence - something self-evident, Do not neglect the invitation. First, you still need to tell him the exact time of the beginning of the event, and secondly, the manifestation of attention is pleasant to any person.

If a person rejects your invitation to visit, do not take offense and demand an explanation: he certainly has good reasons. And if they are not, next time think: is it worth it to invite this person at all?

If the theater starts with a hanger, then any holiday begins with the invitation of guests, which sets the tone long before the event itself. Therefore, it is very important to know how to properly invite guests: this is one of the most important skills of a hospitable host.
