Declining an invitation.
I wrote this declining because I will have a test next Wednesday. Please, could you correct me? And, add more words, because I need to write 70-80 words but I don´t know what things you usually write for declining an invitation. Thanks once again.

Hi Key,
It was really nice to get your invitation. Unfortunately, I can´t make it because I´m going to a wedding on that day. Sorry! Have a lovely time and I hope we can meet other day and have a coffee or something.
Thanks once again.
Love,
Jorge.

Hi George,
I´m having a birthday party next Friday at my house.
Would you like to come? It´ll be very fun! We will bring plenty of pizza, soda and other snack foods. And, we´ll have some incredibly delicious ice cream cake at the end. Could you bring some lemonade and crisps?
My house is behind our school, 5 Greenfield Avenue. It´s right next to the park and it¨s got a blue front door.
I hope you can come and see you soon,
Jorge.
r.s.v.p. :)

I would just write something simple depending on how close you are to the other person you may make it more personalized.
Dear (enter name of person),
Sorry I can't make it to the (event or acivity) on (enter date of the event). Unfortunnately, I have other plans (plans, tests or orther reason for not being able to attefnd) for that day. Note: how detailed in your explanation will be how close you are to the person or understanding they will be. If maybe you can make it to part of it just state that you may try to to attend part of it.
If you care closer to the person, you might add: Maybe we can get together this week or weekend or catch up later on at a later date.
Example of attend part of it: If I had a meeting that was from 11-2 and an invite for a party for 1-3 that same day. One might just ask if it is ok to come to thge last part.
I have had for my oldest people respond as yes they can come for the first part or last part of the party if that is ok s they have anothger obligation that partly conflicts with attending the whole party.

You need to capitalize 'key'. Then you need to edit your sentence so it reads, ' meet another day', change love to sincerely.
