To invite a close friend to a meeting is not at all difficult, but even here difficulties may arise if the meeting is of any special format - a business one, for example. If you need to call the person whom you met recently and still poorly know, just a friend, then you need to be doubly careful.

First decide which one you know. Have you seen him only once or have you already managed to form an opinion about him? Is this a person of the opposite sex or one with you? The specifics of the invitation sent will depend on these parameters. You need to take into account the specifics of the upcoming meeting. Business negotiations, a friendly party, a meeting "without ties" - all of these varieties put forth their requirements for the design of both an oral and written invitation.

So, you want to invite a friend to a business meeting. First, you need to use a business style. This is a friend, you can roll a note, where there will be some intricate metaphors, and he will understand you. In a letter to a business partner, such allegories should not be. Everything should be very clear: what kind of meeting, what is dedicated to, what is expected from the invitee. Do not forget about etiquette formulas: special polite expressions, so that you are not suspected of being rude.

If the meeting you are inviting to is informal and familiar is more likely a future friend, rather than a business partner, then you can allow yourself humor, original design, riddles. Just be careful: it’s better to find out in advance whether this friend loves jokes, and if he does, then what. To learn more about this person will not hurt in any case: it may be better to write something like a business invitation, and then the person will come to you, and if you start experimenting with illustrations and jokes, you will decide that you are mocking him.

Please note that a person of the opposite sex must be handled with a much greater tact. Therefore, if you don’t know the woman you are writing to or referring to, then it’s better to write something like an official letter and in no case let go of jokes that may be misunderstood. The situation is aggravated if she is married or engaged. The same precautions should be taken in relation to men, especially married, if the invitation is a girl.
