While not everyone uses calendar invites, if you do please
consider the following for a courteous approach:
1) Confirm
with someone your plans before sending the invite, in other words, please do
not send an invite as your only form of emailing regarding a meeting.
When calendar invites just show up for me, I find that odd, and typically that
time is booked, and now I have a "to do" to follow up with the
inviting party.
2) Name
the invitation something other than "Meeting with Debbie". If I
accept this and it goes on my calendar, it looks like I am meeting with
myself. Additionally, give a clue to the topic in the invitation
title. Instead, consider something like "Sue and Debbie Meeting Re:
Teamwork".
3) Include
an agenda of two to four topics to cover in the notes or messaging portion of
the invitation.
The
three courtesies will allow for consistency, respect, and positioning prior to
the meeting that sets your meeting up for success!
