Answer 1

Hi B,

Thank you so much for your invitation. The party sounds great and interesting, I’m excited if I can come to join the party.

Unfortunately, in that day my family have to celebrate a party with my grandparents. I haven’t met my grandparents for a long time so I can’t go to your party.

It would be nice to meet up some time. How about going out for a meal then having a coffee?

I hope you’re having a great party!
