Vabilo = Invitation

1) Short explanation = Kratka razlaga

You may need to send an invitation letter on many different occasions, be it to invite your clients, business associates, foreign delegates or even dignitaries. The letter should be written cordially and with true feelings. A host should outline all the important information in his invitation: name, place, date, theme, the purpose of the event and possible dress code. If the occasion is a reception or anniversary, indicate that a gift is not expected. Ask for a response within e.g. a week so that you as a host can appropriately organize the event.

= Vabilo boste po vsej verjetnosti morali napisati za različne priložnosti, na primer svojim strankam, poslovnim partnerjem, tujim delagetom ali celo dostojanstvenikom. Pismo naj bo napisano vljudno in iskreno. V povabilu mora gostitelj navesti vse pomembne informacije: ime, kraj, datum, temo in namen dogodka in morebiten dress code. Če je ta priložnost sprejem ali obletnica, povejte, da ne pričakujete darila. Prosite za odgovor v roku na primer enega tedna, zato, da lahko vi, kot gostitelj, primerno organizirate dogodek.
