Word origin

초대장 (chodaejang, "invitation document") is formed by adding 장 (jang, "document") to 초대 (chodae, "inviting someone"), presenting an invitation as something that can be sent.

Usage tips

  • At events such as weddings or parties, the document may be paper or electronic, so its format matters less than its role in sharing event details and inviting guests.
