Oct 7, 2011 16:12: Evans (X) changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Barbara Carrara, philgoddard, Evans (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

*We hope you'll join us to celebrate our anniversary.

*I would suggest a little adjusting here to make it smoother in English. If the client is willing, I'd mention the number of years the business (I'm assuming that this is the anniversary of a business) has been operating. Another factor is what kind of celebration is planned. "a toast" is not out of the question if drinks really will be served.
So, one option would be to mention the years up front. "10th Anniversary celebration: We hope you'll join us to celebrate out first 10 years in (the city, in XXX type of business)/ ten years of success in (city, sector, etc.).

Anniversary event: We hope you will celebrate with us.

Declined
To avoid repeating 'celebration'.

With the limited context, this is on the assumption that there is some kind of event being held.

If you want something shorter and more punchy, you could say:

"ANNIVERSARY EVENT: COME JOIN THE CELEBRATION "

Depends on what kind of company it is.

Anniversary Meal: We look forward to seeing you at our anniversary meal.

Declined
hello, I attended a brindis in Tenerife at the invitation of an educational charity. It was a buffet lunch outside in the open air, the catering staff refilled the tables with food and soft drinks as fast as they emptied, and I ate as much as my tummy would hold.

How is the sender of the invitation going to get people to come unless there will be something for them to eat as well as drink?

Anniversary Celebration: Come raise a glass with us to our anniversary

Declined
'Come raise a glass with us' is a quite well-established, and I think rather elegant and understated, way of issuing an invitation to an event featuring beverages, and, by implication, some light snacks.

"...good beer, and of course, live music. The event runs from 5-8, and we will play for a couple hours probably starting around 6. Come raise a glass with us! ..." (http://thewhiskeyfarm.com/blog)

"Come raise a glass with us @ Fife and Drum Pub! Mon-Fri from 4-6pm: $5 local beer & well drinks; with $10 weekly food specials. Open Patio!..." (http://twitter.com/.../status/93362917617045504)
