During the campaign for President in 1960, it is well known that Frank Sinatra played a leading role in helping to get John F. Kennedy elected. After JFK was elected, Frank Sinatra was among those responsible for planning the inaugural gala event.

The item pictured here is a 3-piece set. It includes the actual invitation, a contribution card, and an RSVP envelope, addressed to none other than Frank Sinatra, 1619 Broadway, New York, NY.

The invitation reads: "In honor of The President-elect of the United States and Mrs. Kennedy and Vice President-elect of the United States and Mrs. Johnson, The Democratic National Committe requests the pleasure of your company at the Inaugural Gala on Thursday Evening the nineteenth of January, one thousand nine hundred and sixty-one at eight forty-five o'clock at the Armory in the City of Washington."

The invitation measures 9-3/4" by 7" when folded open, as shown in the photograph. The back of the invitation has remnants of some material that might once have been used to affix this item to a backing of some sort. It does not show through to the front and, when mounted again, this would not even be visible. Overall condition of all three pieces is excellent.

An absolutely stunning memento from the age of Camelot and The Rat Pack.
