請(qǐng)柬也稱請(qǐng)?zhí)?，有正式和非正式兩種。非正式請(qǐng)柬就是常說(shuō)的邀請(qǐng)信或邀請(qǐng)條，多用于親戚朋友之間。正式請(qǐng)柬需要一定的格式書(shū)寫(xiě)，主要用于婚禮、喪禮、宴會(huì)、舞會(huì)、招待會(huì)、展覽會(huì)等隆重開(kāi)閉幕式、大型晚會(huì)、慶祝大會(huì)及其他正式社交場(chǎng)合。請(qǐng)柬包括稱呼語(yǔ)、正文和結(jié)束語(yǔ)三大部分。正式請(qǐng)柬一般用第三人稱。在英美國(guó)家，邀請(qǐng)者如同在，應(yīng)把兩人的名字都列出。

主要思路為：簡(jiǎn)述自己要舉辦的活動(dòng)內(nèi)容——活動(dòng)的時(shí)間地點(diǎn)——表達(dá)自己的誠(chéng)意——期望對(duì)方予以答復(fù)。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本類邀請(qǐng)函的要點(diǎn)是表明“相信你一定會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)活動(dòng)感興趣”或者“我希望你能夠一同參加”的心情。同時(shí)注意敘述清楚活動(dòng)的內(nèi)容、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)及對(duì)方能夠給出最后答復(fù)的時(shí)間。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本類邀請(qǐng)函是由于對(duì)象是師長(zhǎng)，不得不采用正式的格式和對(duì)方實(shí)現(xiàn)約見(jiàn)。因此注意使用敬語(yǔ)和“時(shí)間地點(diǎn)由你定”的表達(dá)。
主要思路是：敘述清楚自己要求見(jiàn)面的原因——自己方便的時(shí)間段——希望對(duì)方能抽空相見(jiàn)的迫切心情——表達(dá)感謝之情。
發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)D——以群體為對(duì)象，通知式的邀請(qǐng)函

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本邀請(qǐng)函的對(duì)象為群體，因此有點(diǎn)類似通知的格式。與其他邀請(qǐng)函不同的是，這里可以使用號(hào)召式的結(jié)尾。

Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

點(diǎn)評(píng)：由于對(duì)方使用了正式的邀請(qǐng)格式，因此回復(fù)時(shí)也理應(yīng)采用正式的確認(rèn)信函格式。
主要思路是：感謝對(duì)方的邀請(qǐng)——明確告知對(duì)方自己愿意參加——明確通知對(duì)方自己能夠到達(dá)的時(shí)間(或者確認(rèn)見(jiàn)面地點(diǎn))——再次感謝對(duì)方的邀請(qǐng)

點(diǎn)評(píng)：拒絕時(shí)注意語(yǔ)言的委婉。
本類的主要思路是：感謝對(duì)方的邀請(qǐng)——自己由于什么原因不能出席——表示遺憾——祝福活動(dòng)取得成功(或者對(duì)方和別的同伴玩得開(kāi)心;或者嘗試改約其他時(shí)間)等。
