Use a greeting, identify the event, give three polite dos/don’ts with reasons, invite a question, and close. Do not present invented rules as universal customs.
Original model:
Hi Sam,
I’m glad you can join our community celebration on Sunday. Please arrive at the hall before nine so you can find a seat. You should ask the organisers before taking close photographs of performers. Some people may not want their pictures shared. Bring a reusable bottle and put your rubbish in the labelled bins. You shouldn’t enter the performance area while people are dancing. These are the rules for our event, not for every celebration. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Linh
