Notes: well done! Had I been your neighbor in real life, I would have no trouble understanding your note.
-One note is that you primarily wrote the letter from the perspective of "we" (the household), so I tried to keep that consistent aside from your "I am César" introduction and personal touch at the end "I really hope you can join us."
-The swimming pool sentence is just a suggestion. You had already stated earlier that the party might continue well into the night, so in this sentence, after telling your neighbor about the swimming pool and the fact that it's summer, you might consider a of couple words about how refreshing the water is, using these words to persuade him to attend. Alternatively, you could continue to tell him something fun about the party that wasn't previously mentioned.
-Finally, in real life (speaking from a US perspective), we probably wouldn't ask this neighbor to let us know if he/she can come to a grad party, which by nature tends to have people coming and leaving throughout the event (as opposed to a more structured event like a wedding or birthday party, where RSVPS usually are requested); neither would we ask for them to let us know if it was an informal party with friends on a Saturday night. This may be different from how it would be done in other cultures. In our culture, the letter was sent as a courtesy to let the neighbor know about the party and extend a genuine invitation. We leave it up to the neighbor to decide if they want to attend ("I really hope you can join us!" "I hope to see you on Saturday!").
