Formal Reply
A formal reply is usually very short. It is brief and to the point.
The quality of a good reply is that it must always be pleasant.
Even while declining the invitation or expressing inability to
attend one must be polite and courteous. Formal replies demand
a formal tone and treatment. There is no room for unnecessary
details or superfluous matter in them.
Mrs. and Mr. Vikram Gaur thank Mr And Mrs Shankar for
inviting them on the occasion of the wedding of their son
Ankush at 24, Green Park Road, Kanpur on 15 May, 20XX and
assure them that they will be present on the occasion to wish the
newly weds a very happy married life. Mr and Mrs Gaur will
reach Kanpur by the Agra Mail which leaves Agra at 8.00 a.m.
