An email invite is a kind way to ask someone via email to come to a talk or party. It is the start of the talk, giving key facts and what to think for.

Email invites are fast, work well, and save money. They let you talk to many at once and keep a note of the invite. They work well with calendar apps to help people keep in mind and get ready for the talk.

Main Parts of a Good Email Invite:

Your subject is the first thing folks see. Keep it short and clear, so they want to open the mail.

Say the person’s name to make the mail warmer.

Tell them why the talk is happening. This shows them it’s big and why they should care.

Put in the talk’s date, time, and place. For online talks, share the link needed to join.

Tell them what we will talk about and any things they should read first. This gets them ready to join in well.

Ask them to say if they can come. This lets you plan the talk well.

Say who to ask if they have questions or need more info, so they know who to go to.

Making a Great Subject

A good subject can get your mail opened and read.

Some Good Subject Ideas:

“Team Talk: Project News & What’s Next – June 10”
“Come to: Marketing Plan Talk – May 25”
“Be there: Hearing from Clients – April 15”
Writing a Nice Hello

Say Hello the Right Way

Using their name feels more friendly. “Hi John,” is nicer than a plain old “Hello.”

A small chat, like “I hope you’re well,” makes your mail feel more friendly.

Why the Talk Is

Just say why we’re meeting. “We’ll talk about the Q3 marketing plan.”

Show why they should come. This makes them want to join more.

Adding Big Facts

Always say the date, time, and place of the talk. For online talks, add the joining link.

Put a calendar thing in your mail. This helps people not forget and get ready.

A list of things to talk about helps everyone get set and stay on track in the talk. List things in a good order and give time for each.

Getting Ready

Add or link any papers or slides they need to read before the talk.

Telling People What to Bring:
Let them know if they should bring something, like reports.

Having a Good Call to Action

Ask them to say if they are coming. This helps you know how many to expect.

A quick “Please say if you can come” is enough.

Add the name and way to reach the person in charge. It could be you or another.
