Meeting Reminder Template Examples to Send via Email

It’s important to get the right people in your meetings, or else decisions cannot be made. Writing an effective meeting reminder is a large part of this. In today’s world, people often send reminder emails rather than making phonecalls. It’s also commonplace to print a reminder out to put up where people will see it, depending on the type of meeting you’re planning.

It can be hard to write these reminders in the right tone, and with the right information. Beginners find this especially tricky. It’s important to convey a friendly tone so the person does not feel that they are being told off.

If you’re not sure how to send a reminder email, don’t worry! Meeting reminder email samples are available in this article created by our team at Amelia, along with some of the best tips. This should ensure that you convey the right message every time and have great attendance at your meetings.

Reminder Emails – Best Practices

Here are some guidelines to follow when writing your meeting reminder emails:

Informative Title

The title should tell the receiver exactly what the email is about. Keep in mind that they probably have more than one upcoming meeting, so you’ll need to be specific. If the meeting has changed location or time, include this information.

Your title could be something like one of the following:

Group A Weekly Meeting, NEW ROOM
Wednesday Manager Meeting Reminder

Say Hello and Start

In your email, make sure that you greet the person properly to get off on the right foot. Rather than saying ‘Hello, please remember meeting XYZ’, write something more personal first. Start by saying you hope they are having a good week or something else topical.

Reminder Explanation

After you’ve greeted the recipient, the reminder should be short and to the point. That’s why the person is reading it in the first place. The event should be clearly outlined in a couple of short and simple sentences.

Meeting Purpose

While the attendee may be well aware of the meeting, the real importance is the purpose of the meeting. So, make sure to include the purpose in your email.

Follow Up

Outline to the recipient what the meeting is about and who the chair is, even if they already know. After all, this is the point of the reminder – to remind.

Additional Information

You could also encourage recipients to reply to tell you if they can’t come rather than just be a no-show.

FAQ or Questions

The attendees might have something they want to ask you, so make sure you put your contact info on the email or a link to the FAQ page.

Include Your Company and Name

As the email is for your company, make sure you write the company name and your own name on the email.

Be Friendly

Aim for a tone of requesting rather than ordering. You want to come across as helpful but not pushy.

The tone would depend on the circumstance. A business meeting would require a more formal email than an informal gathering, for instance.

Choose Your Format

Emails can come in lots of different styles. There are two major types: HTML and plain text. HTML can look flashier and more sophisticated, but some computers can only access the plain text.

How Long to Make Your Email

This email should be short and to the point. Litmus says that 54% of emails are opened on a phone. People are not going to scroll forever until you get to your point. The most important point you make should be in the first paragraph.

Tone

Ensure that your tone is formal and polite. This will make the recipient feel that this meeting is important, and that they should come.
