All of us occasionally receive group invitations that we don't want to accept.
How do we handle turning down these invitations without hurting or insulting the someone who invited us?
Thank You Letters
If you are turning down an invitation, first be very clear in your own mind whether you are turning down the singular event, the someone who issued the invitation, or both.

Sometimes we would like to accept the invitation, but we have a old commitment that conflicts with the timing of the event.
Sometimes we want to attend the event to which we have been invited, but we don't want to go with the singular someone who asked us. Sometimes we want to go out with that person, but we don't want to attend that singular event.
If the only reason that you are turning down the invitation is because it conflicts with your schedule, make this very clear in your reply, and if it is feasible, propose an alternative that works better for you.
You can say something like, "Greg, I would love to see that new movie with you, but unfortunately, I'm already scheduled to do something else on the 29th. Would other evening next week work for you?"
This reply makes it very clear to Greg that his invitation is appreciated and other date is being recommend instead. If Greg had simply received a "no" to his request, he would not know whether it was the time period that was being turned down, the activity, or himself.
If you truly want to go out with Greg, and you are ready that singular evening, but you want to turn down the invitation because you don't want to see the movie he has selected, you can say, "I'd truly love to go to a movie with you next Saturday, however, I don't like war movies. I prefer comedies. Is there other movie you would like to see with me that night, or maybe on a dissimilar evening?"
This reply makes it clear you don't like the singular movie selection, but all else about the invitation is fine with you.
What if you don't truly want to go out with Greg because, although you like war movies, and you are ready on the 29th, you don't want to go out with him?
Most likely you don't want to hurt or insult him, but you also don't want to be pressured to go out with him.
If you don't want to accept, you can simply say, "Thanks for the invitation but I'm already finding someone," or, "Thank you but I'm not interested in going out at the gift time".
You do not need to by comparison yourself, or your reasons. If the other someone starts to ask you badgering questions, or becomes abusive, be as polite as you wish, but leave immediately.
Sometimes we receive ambiguous invitations when we aren't truly clear whether the invitation is meant as a romantic date, or if the other someone is simply suggesting a shared operation with you as a friend.
In such a case, it's best to ask the other someone outright.
Although it can be embarrassing to ask the other someone to by comparison his or her intentions, it will be even more embarrassing if you make an assumption about the evening that turns out to be wrong.
Sometimes we would accept the invitation if it meant that it was a romantic date, but we would turn it down if the other someone only wanted to be "friends", and sometimes we are the one who only wants to be "friends" and we want to avoid a romantic entanglement.
In such a case we need to know exactly what is being offered before we conclude whether to accept the invitation or to turn it down.
