When you want to invite friends to a party, you'd better send them invitations. This is a good way to show your respect. Here are some ways of inviting friends to your party.
Mailed Invitation
The most traditional way to invite your friends is to mail invitations. You need to write down all the information about the party, such as the party time, place, clothes to wear, things to bring, phone number and so on.
Online Invitation
You can also invite friends to a party through the Internet. You can buy some online invitations, put pictures and videos in the online invitations and then e mail them to your friends.
Phone Call
If you want to save more time, you can just make a phone call. In this way, you can tell them more about your party. And you can hear if they are interested in the party.
In person (亲自)
An in- person invitation can let you talk to your friends about the party and know their interests. But when you talk to the friends, you may forget some important information. So, you'd better prepare an invitation for them, too.

Now Joyce is still sleeping on her bed. She stayed up late last night. My mother and I decide to do some things for her today.

Next, we are going to the supermarket to buy a present and some flowers for her. So we will buy her a beautiful skirt.
