How To Refuse An Invitation

Here is a funny, cute email that you can use to refuse an invitation to something that you don't want to go to or simply can't attend.

You know what I'm talking about. It's an awkward situation and you're feeling a little uneasy about turning somebody down for something and you really don't like saying "no" but you have to!

However, if you can do it in a humorous way, then maybe both parties will be OK about it.

Try this template below. It should help you refuse an invitation.

Cheers,

Darry
