    "Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?"

    "Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"

    To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse:

"Thanks. Id love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh sorry,

Ive tickets for a movie."

    "Please come over for a drink sometime."

    "Why not get together for a party sometime?"

    "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"

They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
