In Shakespeare there is no reference to a dance party as a "ball" since that meaning of the word did not arise until after Shakespeare's death. There are a few parties at which there is dancing in various Shakespeare plays, but few of them are "royal" (that is, hosted by or attended by a king or queen regnant, since the word "royal" means "associated with a king"). One such is in Act I of King Henry VIII, also known as "All Is True". The party is thrown by Cardinal Wolsey and one of the guests (The Lord Chamberlain) says to another (Lovell), "This night he makes a supper, and a great one, to many lords and ladies; there will be the beauty of the kingdom, I'll assure you." The Lord Chamberlain appears to know the guestlist; it was probably he who sent out the invitations, although the play does not say whether they were written or spoken.

What would Shakespeare write for an invitation to a ball?
He wouldn't. First of all, he wouldn't be inviting people to a "ball"--he wouldn't use that term. Secondly, I find no evidence that people were invited in writing to anything in Shakespeare's day. The actual procedure was more like what we see in Romeo and Juliet--you get hold of a servant and say: Go, sirrah, trudge about Through fair Verona; find those persons out Whose names are written there, and to them say My house and welcome on their pleasure stay. Or if you don't have a servant, you have to trudge about yourself. The form of the invitation would be "my house and welcome stay on your pleasure" it would appear.
