Be my guest

What are you doing this evening?

I am thinking of having a quiet evening.

Have you got anything planned for tonight?

Would you like to join us for dinner this evening?

Thank you, that sounds very nice.

I would be pleased if you would honour me with your company.

May I invite you to my place tonight?

Would you and your wife like to come over for a glass of wine?

I’d love to; at what time?

Would between eight and half past suit you?

We’ve invited a few colleagues over for Friday evening. Wouldn’t you like to join us, too?

I’d love to, but unfortunately I won’t be able to. Our sales manager is coming for the weekend. 

I’d love to, but I’ve got another engagement.

Why don’t you bring your colleague along with you?

My wife would like to meet you. 

I’m afraid I can’t make it tonight.

She’ll be very depressed if you turn us down. 

She’ll be very disappointed if you refuse our invitation.

Thank you very much. I’ll look forward to that.

I’m looking forward to meeting your family. 

I'm afraid I'll have to say no I need an early night.
