Invitation letters can be used to invite people to any kind of event, such as a birthday party, a cook-out, a slumber party, a campaign kick-off dinner, etc.

Invitation letters are sometimes used to attract customers (i.e., a sales invitation letter) or to control and restrict the number of attendees. The following sample demonstrates how to write an invitation to a sales event.
