Making your party invitation story work

For a casual birthday dinner or a get-together, a story invitation is often enough: it reaches close friends instantly and replies come straight to your messages. It should be personal, clear on the plan, and easy to answer.

What to write on it

  • You're Invited, then whose party it is and the occasion.
  • The day, time and place, written the way you would say them to a friend.
  • How to reply, usually just a message back.

One tip

Share it to your close friends list rather than everyone. It keeps the guest list to the people you meant to invite. Post it a week or two ahead, and add a reminder story the day before so nobody forgets.
