Information,6/77,Section 2,Things to Do,Accepting and Declining an Invitation,Accepting an invitation is a good way to develop relationships,but sometimes turning down the offer is the only realistic solution for those with a busy schedule or personal reasons.Things for you to consider and to do:,1.Understand why you were invited.Is your friend inviting you?Do you work in a small company,and your boss is inviting you to dinner?Are you expected to attend this invitation?What would be the consequences if you didnt attend?,Related Information:,7/77,Section 2,Things to Do,2.Weigh the importance of this invitation.There are many social obligations we face throughout life,some more important than others.A social event that typically occurs once in a lifetime,such as a coming of age party or someones wedding,should have more importance over a night at the movies.How does this invitation rate compared with your existing obligations and priorities?,3.Thank the person.Someone is taking their time to invite you to some event they feel is worthwhile.Thank the person for their consideration.,8/77,Section 2,Things to Do,4.Create a delay if needed.If youre confronted in person with a verbal invitation,respond with a request to check your schedule.This may be communicated within a question,as in“do you mind if I check my schedule and get back to you?”,or a statement,“I really need to check my schedule before I commit to anything”.,5.Be honest.To an extent,truthfully give the person a yes-or-no response.Sometimes a direct answer is desired,especially if the invitation is a social event with an RSVP.,9/77,Section 2,Things to Do,6.Follow up with a positive conclusion.If applicable,let the person know you are interested in accepting the social event at a different time or under different circumstances.Showing interest softens the rejection of an offer.,7.Accept the first invitation or dont accept any if you received more than one for a particular night that would overlap or conflict.,back,10/77,countdown,electronic copy,at the bottom of,as far ahead as possible,prize drawing,incentive,related to,start with,professional,Section 2,Things to Do,recipient,back,Activity 1

briefly.,3),Be creative,Use humour or something related to your business that makes people smile.This may increase their interest in your event.,words,14/77,Section 2,Read and Think,4),Offer an incentive,It shows you understand that your invitees time is valuable.Invite them to a free luncheon or enter them in a prize drawing.Incentives also serve to keep your guests there until the

invitation if you need to know who will be attending;for example,RSVP followed by your telephone number.,words,sentences,15/77,Section 2,Read and Think,7),Send reminders,Send an electronic copy of your invitation as a reminder seven and three days before the occasion,with the subject line“Countdown to Blue Sky luncheon only three more days!”,8),Determine the wording,Should the language be

words,),words,translation,back,16/77,Section 2,Read and Think,Find out the different types of invitations and share your ideas with your partner.,Generally speaking,invitations fall into three main types:diplomatic,business and personal.The first two tend to be formal while the last one can be either formal or informal,depending on the event itself.Diplomatic and business invitations are more or
