But your party will not be any less fun if you do use this paper. Small-sized stationery for informal invitations is better, so that the few words you write needn't be swamped by large areas of blank paper. Never write an invitation on the typewriter, no matter how illegible your handwriting is. Write as clearly as you can.

informal invitation for a week end
June 2, 1950 Dear
Mary,
Will you and Bill come for the week end with us on Friday, June 21st? It'll be very simple-just us, except for cocktails at Fred and Elly's Saturday and a dance at the club. Most of the men wear white dinner jackets, but there are always enough in odd jackets and slacks so that nobody need feel embarrassed if he doesn't want to dress. The gals wear cottons, mostly, long or short. We'll swim, so bring bathing suits. For the rest of the time, whatever's comfortable.
The children will be here Friday when you come, but are, blissfully, going to spend the rest of the week end with Mother.
Enclosed is a timetable. Come as early as Bill can manage to get away from the office, and let me know what train, so we can meet you.
Do hope you can make it. We long to see you.
Love,
Charlotte
Invitations for a week end should be sent two or three weeks in advance.

Dear Mrs. Beck,
Bob's mother is coming to visit us next week, and I'm eager to have her meet you and a few of my other special friends. Could you come to tea on Wednesday, the 18th, at five? We'll be looking forward to seeing you.
Cordially, Charlotte
informal invitations for dinner
September 5, 1950 Dear Helen,
Will you and Jack come to dinner with us on Wednesday next, September 13th at seven? There'll be eight of us-and don't dress Canasta afterward, if we're all in the humor.
Will you call me or send me a note about whether you can make it? Do hope the answer is yes!
Yours,
Charlotte
October 10, 1950 Dear Mrs. Jackson,
Frank and I would like so much to have you and Mr. Jackson come for dinner with us next week, Friday, October 20th, at seven o'clock. We won't dress.
We've been looking forward so eagerly to having you here that I do hope this will prove a convenient time for you.
Cordially, Charlotte Adams
