Copy ## What to include in a dinner invitation message Check the message covers these points before you send it, so no guest has to ask you for details later. - The time, with pm. Dinner in India starts anywhere from 7:30 to 9:30 and the hour decides when guests leave home. - The full address with the tower, the flat number and a landmark, or the restaurant and the area. - What kind of evening it is: a quiet family dinner, a dinner party with music, a team dinner the company is paying for. - Who is invited: family only, couples, plus ones, kids or no kids. - A dress code line for a dinner party, even if it is just smart casual. - A reply-by date with the reason, usually the cook or the caterer. ### Before you send - Write 8 pm, not evening. For a dinner party add onwards so people know they can come late. - Say who is cooking or what is being served. A line like home-cooked Hyderabadi biryani does more than any adjective. - Say whether kids and plus ones are welcome. That is the question people are shy to ask. - Send a home dinner message a week ahead and a dinner party message two weeks ahead. Send the pin and the parking line on the day. - For a team dinner, say who is paying and whether plus ones are welcome in the first two lines. ## Send the dinner invitation on WhatsApp with one-tap replies Paste the message once and every guest receives it individually on WhatsApp with Yes, No and Maybe buttons.
