Make it personal
Consider invitation writing as if you are inviting a good friend or relative in person. Capture that mood. Try to write the same way as you speak. Make it personal.

Same counts for writing greeting cards. Just be you, be that cool friend everybody likes! Let loose that formality. ... Unless you’re born with a stiff upper lip, heck then write with one too.


Use emotion
Next thing, besides being yourself and making it personal, is to choose one specific emotion as your tone of voice. Express this emotion. This could be happy, humorous, sympathetic, joyful, loving etc..

Built tension
Last thing is to make good use of the separated front, inside or back of the card. Use them to built tension in your wordings and to make a good expression of your emotion. Write up to a plot.

Here an example of good baby shower invitation writing (personal, humorous, plot):
- Front:“One night of passion and what do you get?”
- Inside left:“A baby shower invitation!”
- Inside right:”Dear Mary, dear Joe, we’re lining up a Baby Shower for…”

Here an example of a well written retirement greeting card:
- Front:“Congratulations Bob!”
- Inside left:“Now that you're retiring, you can do something most people can't do…”
- Inside right:“...smile on Monday mornings!”

Of course you can also use an other tone of voice besides humorous. … It just happens to be my favourite.
