中英对照邀请函

　　你还在苦于不会写英文邀请函吗?下面是出国留学网为大家准备的英文邀请函范文及模板。

　　邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。书写时应注意:

　　邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚，不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确，所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”

　　1. 邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheon

　　Affectionately yours,

　　Li Ming

　　2. 邀请朋友同他们不认识的人一起共进晚餐 Inviting friends to supper with the strangers
