Subject: Invitation to Menopause over Martinis*
Hello [guest name],
Recently I discovered a grassroots project called Menopause Over Martinis* www.menopauseovermartinis.org
Put simply, it’s a potluck dinner for friends and family to talk about the normal, inevitable and temporary stages of a woman’s life: perimenopause and menopause. It’s an invitation to learn about the little-known facts and changes we can expect through menopause, and the many things we can do to support ourselves and others along the way.
I’m interested in hosting a menopause dinner because [e.g. I would like to be prepared for this stage of life…I would like to share my experiences with others, I would like to learn about perimenopause/menopause so I can support someone else…]
There’s so much to be learned from talking to people of all ages and stages about their experiences.
You might not be experiencing any changes yet, you might be in perimenopause, or you might be post-menopause. The most important thing is that we share, learn and support each other – in confidence, with respect for each other’s experiences and without any hard sells or guarantees. Everyone’s experience is different.
* Drinking martinis is obviously optional. BYO whatever you’d like to drink.
I’d love you to join me at: [address]; on [day/date/month] from [Xpm].
With your help, I’m sure it will be an enlightening, empowering and fun night. And I can guarantee the food will be amazing because I know you’re a great cook :) To make it easy for everyone, please bring something simple to share for dinner.
Please RSVP by [date] only because my table seats [X] and I’d love to fill it.
Best,
[Name]
