An invitation should be answered in the same form as it was issued and with the same degree of formality. An invitation issued via the telephone or email can be responded to in the same way. A written invitation should be responded to in writing unless the invitation lists a telephone number or email address. Formal invitations issued in the third person, such as wedding invitations should be replied to in the third person. Example: Mr. John Jones
