What should I write in my happy hour invitation?

Aside from the basic details like the date, time and location, you should also include a fun little message to get your guests excited. Evite has some ideas to get you started:

“Shake off the workday stress and join us for an after work happy hour!”
“Join us pour a fun happy hour!”
“Come kick back and have a drink with us at our happy hour!”

What is the proper etiquette for an after hours work happy hour?

A good rule of thumb is to keep in mind that it's still a work event. If you want to drink, make sure that you pace yourself and know your limits—you don't want to embarrass yourself or your company. You should also gently remind your guests to not overindulge. If one of your guests can't drink, make sure that they feel comfortable being around people who do and that you go somewhere that they can still enjoy.
