2. 明日、あうのたのしみにします。

Answer

あう　meet
あえる can meet

So there is no big difference here.

The bigger problem is たのしみにします。
You should say たのしみにしています instead.

たのしみにしています：present action.
たのしみにします：future action, making no sense in this context.

Answer

Thank you!

Answer

Basically, there are no differences in nuance. If anything, no.2 is more casually and used to closer friend. NO,1 is more polite a bit.
