Colon or dash

.
Hello, Eugene-- and welcome to English Forums.

Use the n-dash. Your sentence is too casual for a colon. And always capitalize the first person singular pronoun.

Hi Micawber,

Thanks for the reply.

How should i phrase the sentence to include the colon?

If you are wondering who i'm inviting, It's the usual three : John, Mike and Andy.

Should you be curious, I am inviting three people: John, Mike and Andy.

Just a quick word from the technical writer:

The en-dasy is used bascially to mean "to" for duration or qauntities. I can't make them on my laptop, but things like April 7-9 would have the en-dash. So would something like "Somewhere about 2.5-2.7 million"

The em-dash is used as we're talking about here. It has a variety of uses, and it does tend you make your writing less formal.

Yes, sorry-- I meant 'm', not 'n'.

Hi,
Since you are being informal, you could also just say
If you are wondering who I'm inviting, it's the usual. John, Mike and Andy.

Best wishes, Clive
