May one read a wedding or Bar Mitzvah invitation on Shabbos?[1]
It is permitted to distribute an invitation on Shabbos. However, some Poskim[2] rule that if the invitation is sealed closed it is Muktzah, and even if not, one may not distribute it if he will see the people during week.[3]

[3] Vetzaruch Iyun as a) There is no Issur of Tircha on Shabbos when a person will benefit from it on Shabbos and it can read it on Shabbos. B) One may ask a gentile to open it and hence why should it be Muktzah.
Starting Shemoneh Esrei together with the Minyan:[1]
The main aspect of Davening with a Minyan is to begin Shemoneh Esrei together with the Minyan at exactly the same time. Accordingly, one should get into the habit of praying at a pace that he can begin Davening Shemoneh Esrei together with the Minyan.
