The Smash invitation is an envelope stamped in wax with the Super Smash Bros. logo featured in promotional materials and character reveal trailers for Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It first appeared in Villager's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. 4 and has since appeared in Isabelle, Joker, and Terry's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate trailers.
History
Smash 4
The invitation first made an appearance in Villager's trailer. In it, he is seen taking the envelope out of his mail box before running off. Notably, this is the only appearance of the Smash invitation in any Smash 4 character trailer.
Ultimate
The Smash invitation is much more prevalent in promotion for Ultimate characters, especially the trailers for DLC characters. It first appeared in Isabelle's trailer, in which Pete (a pelican mailman from the Animal Crossing universe) delivers one to her. Later, in Joker's first trailer, he is seen running through The Game Awards 2018 while his teammates comment on what he may be there for. As it's shortly revealed, he in fact arrived to steal a Smash invitation. It reappears at the beginning of Joker's second trailer. Most recently, it had made an appearance in Terry Bogard's reveal trailer. In it, multiple characters from the King of Fighters series attempt to grab it as it flies through the air: Kyo Kusanagi, Ryo Sakazaki, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Geese Howard, Nakoruru via her hawk Mamahaha, and Iori Yagami. It finally lands on the ground, allowing Terry to take it.

Trivia
- As shown in Joker and Terry's trailers, it is not directed towards any specific individual and would still be valid if one was to steal it.
- It was even later confirmed by Nintendo that Joker had stolen a Smash invitation potentially from someone else.
- According to Terry's trailer, it is signed with the letter S, presumably standing for Masahiro Sakurai. The contents of the letter, however, are exclusively seen in Terry's trailer, and are in reference to the opening of King of Fighters '94, so it is unknown if the contents potentially change per invitation.
- The Japanese physical download code for the Fighters Pass has a graphic of the Smash invitation on the back.
- A graphic of the Smash invitation was also used to announce the continued development of character DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Prior to its debut in Villager's trailer, an invitation was alluded to in Snake's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
