Dear Sana,

Hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. I am getting married on 25th September 2026, and I am writing this letter to formally invite you to the wedding.

My fiance, Vishal Mankodi, is working with Bluesky Immigration as a Managing Director. We first met at my cousin’s wedding six months ago and had a conversation for a while. He approached my parents through his parents, and so it is an arranged-cum-love-marriage affair.

You must come a week before attending the ring ceremony on 20th September, and the Ladies Sangeet on 21st September. In these events, you will enjoy the folk culture of Gujarat. Then, the Mehandi ceremony is on the 22nd and finally, the Wedding is on the 25th of September. In a traditional Hindu wedding, the priest lights up a fire around which the bride and groom circle and take holy vows. After the Doli ceremony, I will leave my parents home and go with my husband at his place.

As you are researching the Indian Tradition and Culture, attending the wedding will give you a first-hand experience of many things.

Hoping to see you at the wedding!

Yours with love,

Ravina

Task Response

8
The letter effectively addresses all three bullet points: it describes the fiancé and how they met, outlines the wedding schedule with specific events, and explains why the friend's attendance is important. The tone is warm and appropriate for an informal invitation. Minor lapses include a slight over-focus on cultural details and a somewhat abrupt transition to the reason for attendance, but these do not detract from overall task achievement. To reach a higher band, consider making the invitation more personal and ensuring the reason for the friend's presence is more emotionally compelling.

Coherence & Cohesion

8
The letter is well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose is clear from the start, and the details about the wedding events are presented in a logical sequence. However, the transition between the description of the fiancé and the schedule could be smoother. Consider using a linking phrase such as 'As for the wedding events...' to improve flow. The final paragraph could also be more explicitly connected to the invitation, perhaps by stating 'Your presence would mean a lot to us.'

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with some nice touches like 'radiant health' and 'first-hand experience.' The letter effectively conveys the cultural aspects of the wedding. To reach a higher band, you could incorporate more sophisticated and precise vocabulary, such as 'traditional ceremonies' instead of 'events,' and 'formal invitation' instead of just 'invite.' Also, consider using more idiomatic language, e.g., 'tie the knot' for 'get married.' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

8
The grammar is largely accurate, and the letter demonstrates a good range of sentence structures. There are a few minor issues, such as 'my parents home' should be 'my parents' home,' and 'go with my husband at his place' could be more naturally phrased as 'go to my husband's place.' Additionally, the sentence 'He approached my parents through his parents, and so it is an arranged-cum-love-marriage affair' is a bit awkward; consider rephrasing to 'He approached my parents through his, making it a blend of arranged and love marriage.' Overall, the errors are minor and do not impede understanding.
