Getting the Tone Right
Corporate invitation wording needs to balance professionalism with warmth. Too formal and it feels cold; too casual and it lacks authority. Match the tone to your company culture and the type of event. A tech startup's summer outing will read very differently from a law firm's annual dinner.
