You say, "Thank you for inviting me. I regret I cannot attend."
That's all that's necessary. Please do NOT provide any made up excuses. All that is necessary is a reply. Either Yes, thank you or no, thank you. No reasons necessary. Do NOT provide one. If you're wishy washy about it, why not stop being so anti-social, put on something nice, and go for a couple hours. You might actually have a good time if you let yourself. But, do NOT go if you're going to be a wet blanket. Either way - you need to RSVP.

It depends on why you don't like them--did you hear something about them (that may not be true), did they actually wrong you in some way, or you just don't know them very well? Chances are they want to make peace with you, get to know you, or like you, at least enough to ask you. Go for a bit, and if you feel uncomfortable then leave. 1 to 7 is a long party, chances are not everyone is going to stay the whole time anyways.
About your friend you've fallen out with, either go and make nice, or just keep things as they are. I had a situation like that recently, and I contacted the friend first so that she knew I was willing to be cordial, and she didn't respond but she was cool when I saw her. But if you just plain don't want to go because you don't like her and the other person will be there then just be totally honest with her and tell her why. It's their birthday, they have a right to know.

My infant only went to a occasion final month. he's two and a nil.5 and his terrific buddy at day care grew to become 4 and his mom sent out invites to all the youngsters. We have been the only to instruct. I stayed and that that they had a blast-the two one in all them ran and performed and rejoiced. His buddy would not make acquaintances basic and is slightly shy yet they take to a minimum of one yet another whilst my son began a 12 months in the past and this little guy replaced into shifting to the bigger young toddlers classification. Now they are the two interior the enormous toddler classification room. It replaced into plenty exciting for them-only circulate and revel in. It only isn't the final day out have been we mom's start up a communication with "i'm the mommy of that one-so how neat is this that they are doing enormous toddler issues now". sturdy prepare for all those events and activities and issues to return. And if all of us is questioning toddlers do no longer make buddies-my son talks approximately his buddy all the time at domicile. we've long communicate of issues his buddy would desire to do on weekends (see his mom and pop, circulate to a park, no longer circulate to day care). And only this week he noted as yet another toddler in college his buddy-a considerable journey that we've 2 acquaintances.

If you are not this persons friend, then I'm wondering why he invited you in the first place? Don't be rude, just be civil. Say something along the lines of "Thank you for your invitation but unfortunately I can't come because I already have plans that day." If you don't like him, then there's no reason to go and be fake about.

if you think you'll be uncomfortable then don't go...nothing wrong with politely declining an invitation
if you want to go then maybe bring the host a small gift and thank them for the invite but let them know you won't be able to stay very long....that gives you an out if you start to feel uncomfortable

If you feel socially trapped into this party, do a 30-minute drop-by, greet everyone, then say goodbye to the host & leave.
It works for me.

you could just say that you already have other plans if you think you don't want to go, or you could just drop by for an hour or two.

Follow you feelings/intuition, don't go. Don't force yourself to do something you don't like doing. Honor your inner self.

if you don't like the person, then don't go!! Put since they had the decency to invite you, you should at least tell them you can't make it, tell them something suddenly came up!!
