Usage notes
- For an event, invito is the card/message; invitazione is often more formal or the act itself. In speech, both are common.
- Use fare un invito or ricevere un invito. Avoid translating English 'make an invitation' too literally in awkward contexts.
- Invito a + infinitive means 'I invite/urge to...,' common in formal notices: Vi invito a compilare il modulo.
