Subject: Next weekend's party

Hi,

I'm so glad you can come to my party next weekend. I'm really excited about it!

My parents are going to provide drinks for everybody, but I'm
asking everyone to bring some food with them to the party.
Can you bring a chocolate cake?

I think it would be fun if everyone could dress in special
clothes for the party, like an animal or a famous person. What
do you think?

Also, I'll organise some games for us to play at the party.
What's a good game that we can all play together?

See you next weekend.

Alex
