I’m sure a formal save-the-date invitation would look something like this:
I will be reading some of my poetry on Friday, September 28, 2012, 8 pm at Rao’s Coffee, Amherst.
This will be my first reading at Rao’s and first time as a scheduled (as opposed to open mic) poet. I believe we are each allotted 10-15 minutes of reading time and I will be in good company alongside a few other Valley poets. I hope to find out who is on the roster soon so I can share that information with you asap.
I look forward to your presence even though something tells me I’ve got the whole save-the-date thing wrong—like I was supposed to announce it earlier and send each of you a tin of tiny mints. For now, you get this, right here on my blog, today.
I hope to see you there (triple exclamation points), Katherine
I’ll be there in spirit to cheer you on!
I will feel your spirit I’m sure! Thanks!
