invitations are special for a variety of reasons. for one, they are a reflection of the sender’s perception of the invitee. invitations betray subtle hints that one person is important to the frame work of an event, function or appointment. and while most people may insist on tagging certain events as ‘invite-only’, which event isn’t? who really wants to attend a function to which they have not been invited?
so, invitations are great – but what do you do when you receive an invitation?
there are a number of responses that you may have to an invitation – and quite frankly, it is good discretion that allows you decide what events to attend and which not to – but regardless of whether your response is positive or negative, it is only common courtesy to respond.
in the event that you agree to the invitation or a request, it is necessary to show your decision with enthusiasm. one of the best ways to do this is to simply create and send a letter that states that you accept. the act of replying says great things about your character.
the best part about a letter to accept an invitation is perhaps the fact that it is much easier than the decision to say ‘yes’.
