Parties and events nowadays are almost every day. They may range from funerals, weddings, property launch, baby showers, graduation, and many others. The person who sent the invite can be your best friend.
There could be no commitment at that time but you are not willing to attend the event. Note that the host wanted to share their big day with you. Ensure you do not sound rude towards the invite.
These tips will help you reject the invite politely;
1. Ask for another time
Let the inviter know your unavailability to attend the event at the planned time though you wished. Ask for a different time to spend time together. This will sound better than keeping quiet.
2. Give an honest reason you won't make
Let the inviter know that you will not be available on the planned day. This can be due to other planned activities at the same time or you might not be within the reach to show up for the event.
3. Give out your support
Make this as soon as you get the invitation especially if you are sure you won't make to attend the event. This is a great way to show that you are concerned about the event and its importance. You can state briefly why you will not make for the event.
