Being invited to a party can be fun, and you should say thanks for the invite.
Your wording for saying thank you for inviting us to the party will vary depending on when you are writing your thank-you message:
- Before the party, attending
- Before the party, not attending
- After attending the party
Below, I’ve included sample messages specifically for how to say thank you for inviting me or us to the party.
For more guidance on other invitations and general advice, review the thank you for inviting me guide.
Tips For Saying Thank You For Inviting Me To A Party:
Here are some suggestions for when you want to say thanks for the party invite.
- If going to the party, express excitement about attending only if you are excited. However, I realize that sometimes you may attend a party out of a sense of obligation.
- Saying thank you doesn’t replace an RSVP. Please also respond to the RSVP in the requested manner.
- There are many types of parties. Use the example messages as inspiration and adjust as necessary for the type of party (graduation, holiday, New Year’s, etc.)
- The best notes are specific. Be sure to add details to your notes!

The examples below are only the center section of your thank-you message. When writing a handwritten note or email, you’ll still want to include a greeting, closing, and sign your name. You can learn how to write a thank you note for anything here.
