Answer:

Dear C,

I’m having a costume party to celebrate Halloween at my house. It’s on 31 October and starts at 6p.m.

We’re having a BBQ in my garden, with loads of food and music too. We’re also playing some interesting board games.

Don’t forget to dress up as a scary character to scare everyone because it’s a costume party. We’re having some great rewards for the person with the most impressive costume.

Please let me know if you can come.

Answer:

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!
