How to Write
An Invitation :
1. Before you write
an invitation, decide on the tone, voice and level of formality, based on the
event itself. This will dictate whether you hand-write the cards or have them
printed, and whether you choose A preprinted or personalized invitation.
2. Choose the type of
invite you want, and order or buy a few more than you think you'll need. This
will permit you to add some guests to your list at the last minute, if
necessary. For small parties, you may want to hand-write the invitations on
stationery or blank cards. For large gatherings, consider ordering printed
invitations.
3. Determine the wording
of your invite based on the level of formality. For example, a formal
invitation might say, 'Dr. and Mrs. Stanley request the pleasure of your
company,' whereas a more casual note might say, 'Please join us.'
4. Include the names of
the host and/or hostess, as well as the place (with street address), time, date
and purpose of the occasion, even if it's a simple get-together.
5. Make sure to add RSVP
information at the bottom of the invite if you need to know who will be
attending; for example, 'RSVP' followed by your telephone number.
6. Include a respond-by
date on a formal invitation so you can get an accurate head count in time to
adjust the amount of food, number of place settings and room size. For a
wedding, charity function or other formal event, consider including a response
card and a stamped, self-addressed envelope inside the envelope containing your
invite.
7. Mail invitations three
weeks before most events, four weeks before a formal affair and three months
before a wedding, to allow for airline reservations. For events held during the
December holidays, send invitations around Thanksgiving

A biography
is simply the story of a life. Biographies can be just a few sentences long, or
they can fill an entire book—or two.
Very short biographies tell the basic facts of
someone's life and importance.
Longer biographies include that basic information of
course, with a lot more detail, but they also tell a good story.
Biographies
analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find
connections, explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make
arguments about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life
activities. Biographies are usually about famous, or infamous people, but a
biography of an ordinary person can tell us a lot about a particular time and
place. They are often about historical figures, but they can also be about
people still living.
Many
biographies are written in chronological order. Some group time periods around
a major theme (such as "early adversity" or "ambition and
achievement" ). Still others focus on specific topics or accomplishments.
Biographers
use primary and secondary sources:
Primary sources are things like letters, diaries, or
newspaper accounts.
Secondary sources include other biographies, reference
books, or histories that provide information about the subject of the
biography.
To write a biography you should:
1. Select a person you
are interested in
2. Find out the
basic facts of the person's life. Start with the encyclopedia and almanac.
·Think
about what else you would like to know about the person, and what parts of the
life you want to write most about. Some questions you might want to think about
include:
·What
makes this person special or interesting?
·What
kind of effect did he or she have on the world? other people?
·What
are the adjectives you would most use to describe the person?
·What
examples from their life illustrate those qualities?
·What
events shaped or changed this person's life?
·Did
he or she overcome obstacles? Take risks? Get lucky?
·Would
the world be better or worse if this person hadn't lived? How and why?
4. Do additional
research at your library or on the Internet to find information that helps you
answer these questions and tell an interesting story.
