formal invite
Engraved event card
A formal invite is an invitation to an event that follows conventional etiquette—typically printed on quality paper with specific wording for weddings, galas, or official functions.
The phrase also appears casually to distinguish official invitations from informal suggestions: I haven't gotten a formal invite yet, just a text saying I should come.
