Let’s start with the key structural elements:

A good subject line

We’ve all been there: sending an email to spam without opening it. If you fail to pick the right subject line for your email, it’s extremely hard to pull a recipient into reading the message. A successful subject line is one that intrigues, identifies the purpose of sending the email, and develops a sense of urgency — all of that only in 70 characters.

Opening and closing

If you want to create a super concise message, there are at least two places you can shine. The opening and closing are ideal spots for personal notes to make your email invite sound more friendly. Let’s agree, the line “Please come to relax, socialize and lunch with us,” in the message below makes the message sound warm.

Preparation

For some events, it’s necessary to ensure participants come prepared. Start a message by listing the key requirements concerning the attendees’ preparation to skip awkward moments at the event.

Reason

A successful email invitation can’t be served without an explanation of the event’s purpose. Think in terms of the goals a corporate meeting is to accomplish and transform them into strong, positive reasons. It’s critical to emphasize the value offer for attendees by making it clear how an event will improve their skill sets, expertise, and knowledge.

Time, date, location & duration

Online or inhouse, mentioning date & location details is crucial. In your email invite, put a strong emphasis on the venue address, include parking information, and make sure the time indicated in an email complies with the time zones your registrants live in. If you invite people for a webinar, ensure you incorporate relevant links and login information.

RSVP

To understand how many guests you should expect, request an RSVP. Locate a clear RSVP button at the end of your email invitation using contrastive colors to separate it from the email body.

Based on your event format, the target audience, and your strategy, you can add extra information like an agenda or a list of speakers. Please don’t overdo it; no one reads an essay to get registered for an event.

Remember, your email invite is a holistic unity the elements of which complement each other building a strongly persuasive message. If one thing is missing, you can end up with something like this:
