Start with the outcome
Describe what you want to happen: a meeting, journey, dinner or a set of related arrangements. One clear outcome is more useful than a long list of broad wishes.
Add a city and dates
Include the place, date, time and group size. If alternatives are possible, share a date range and your priorities.
Set the boundaries
A budget range, location preferences, accessibility requirements and timing constraints make it easier to discuss appropriate options.
Agree how to confirm
Before payment, clarify the scope, final cost, cancellation rules and change process. Do not send documents or payment details before agreeing a safe way to share them.
