The exact history of invitations is not known, but in the 18th Century French and English aristocrats were using them to announce social events. Today invitations are not just for the elite but anyone invited to a party. An invitation serves several purposes all based on announcing a party or event. These include who is invited, when and where it is being held, what to bring, what to where and possibly directions.
