Cultural Tip
In Brazil, invitations (convites) often include not only the date, time, and address but also a dress code (e.g., 'traje casual' or 'black‑tie') and a request for RSVP ('confirme sua presença'). When asking about the invitation, it's polite to use a friendly tone and, if you need clarification, you can follow up with 'Precisa levar algo?' (Do I need to bring anything?).
