How to invite people for Hanukkah
A great way to invite people for Hanukkah is to say which of the eight nights you are hosting and what time the candles will be lit. Add dinner, latkes, or gifts only when that helps someone decide.
Send it two to three weeks ahead. If that night is also Shabbat, say so, and name the city when guests are coming from another place.
How do I say which night?
Write the civil date and the night, such as the fourth night. That is enough.
