(Preface) 'As human beings, our lives are defined by social events. Whether the event is as personal as a friend's wedding or as banal as an annual conference, to be invited to an event is a call to action to behave in a collective, socially accepted way. The relationship between the invitee and the invited is formalised by the invitation. Conventionally, it is a printed card that requests your attendance and denotes the nature and the purpose of the event. It communicates when, where and why you need to attend.
The invitation also represents a complex social relationship between sender and recipient. The event may be exclusive or be open to all. It may be a sobering occasion such as a funeral, or as casual as a warehouse party. It may be something you want to attend, or something you dare not miss. A mantelpiece lined with invitations to exclusive events acts almost as physical proof of acceptance by a social order...'
