How do you write on the wedding card to say not to attend the party?
The small card that comes with the wedding invitation you should write in it that you are sorry, but you can not attend. Then put the card in the self address envelope that already has a stamp on it and mail it off as soon as possible. If you know the person well then you could phone and let them know what you cannot attend even after sending the reply. Etiquette states if you are invited to a wedding and cannot attend you should still send a wedding gift as it is an honor to be invited to that person's wedding.

Can an Atheist marry a Greek orthodox?
Generally, the answer is no, if the marriage is going to take place in a church. An Orthodox Christian is responsible for raising the children, if any, in the Orthodox Faith, even in cases of mixed marriages, so a non-religious person may not be comfortable with that. However, there are exceptions, and it may be best to check with your local Eastern Orthodox priest or bishop about any specific requirements they may have.
Can a non Jew attend an orthodox service. If the visitor is circumsized does it make a difference?
Yes, non-Jews attend Orthodox synagogue services all the time, usually as an invited guest to an event. If you wish to attend a religious service at an Orthodox synagogue, you might want to contact the synagogue's rabbi first to determine the best time to attend. As for being circumcised or not, it doesn't make a difference as male circumcision is only a concern for Jewish males. As non-Jewish person can't participate in a Jewish religious service anyway, being uncircumcised is a moot point.
