Question

You have been invited to attend the wedding of your friend's sister next week. Respond to the invitation, regretting your inability to accept the invitation. Give a suitable reason (40-50 words). 
 

Hint:

Replies to invitations must clearly state the acceptance or refusal in the opening lines. Always provide a polite, plausible reason when declining.

Answer 1

This is a reply to an invitation declining it. Since it is a friend's sister's wedding, an informal but polite tone is appropriate. It must express thanks, congratulations, and cite a valid reason for absence.

Dear Amit,
Thank you so much for inviting me to your sister's wedding next week. It is a joyous occasion, and I wish her a very happy married life. However, I deeply regret my inability to attend due to my ongoing final examinations during the same week. I will surely visit you all soon after.
Warm regards,
Rohan
