How to Write Informal Invitations to Friends in English

Informal Invitation Templates for Friends

Option 1: Invitation to a Weekend Get-Together

Hi Ana,

How’s it going? Sorry I haven’t been in touch for ages, but things have been really busy at school lately. I’ve had a lot of homework, exams, and projects, so I haven’t had much free time to write. Anyway, I finally have a bit of time now!

How are you? Are you still enjoying your classes? I hope everything is going well with you and that you’re not too stressed.

So, I just wanted to ask if you’re doing anything this Saturday. I’m planning to have a small get-together at my house in the afternoon, and I thought it would be great if you could come. Some of our classmates are coming too, so it should be really fun. We haven’t all been together for a while, so it’s a good chance to catch up.

By the way, it’s not a formal thing at all, so don’t worry about what to wear. Casual clothes will be perfect. We’re just going to:

• Listen to music
• Eat some snacks
• Watch a movie or play some games

Also, my parents won’t be home for most of the afternoon, so we’ll have the place to ourselves.

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you’re free. We can make some plans and maybe you can come earlier so we can hang out a bit before everyone arrives.

It would be awesome to see you again! I really miss spending time with you.

Speak soon,

Option 2: Invitation to a Movie Night

Hi Sofía,

How’s it going? I haven’t heard from you for ages! Sorry I haven’t written before, but I’ve been really busy with school and some personal things, so I didn’t have much time.

How’s life? Are you still living in the same place? I hope everything is going well with you and your family.

So, I just wanted to invite you to come over to my place next Friday evening. I’m planning a small movie night with a few friends, and I think it would be great if you could join us. We haven’t seen each other in such a long time, so it would be really nice to catch up and spend some time together.

By the way, don’t worry about bringing anything. I’ll prepare some snacks and drinks, and we can order pizza if we want. It’s going to be very relaxed, and we’ll probably watch a couple of films and just talk and laugh.

Anyway, let me know if you can come and what time works best for you. If you want, you can stay a bit longer after the movie and we can talk more.

It would be really nice to see you again! I miss our conversations.

Speak soon,
[Your Name]
