If you are inviting them to come from their place of residence, a written invitation is best. I suggest a week or two in advance (long enough for them to arrange transportation). If the distance is significant, you may want to advise your guest of accommodation in your area.
If they are "in town" visiting, it is acceptable to ask them in person or to telephone and ask them to join you for dinner. Be prepared for the possibility they may have their time "booked up".
I got an invitation to the party.The meeting was by invitation-only. Send an invitation and see if she'll come.
to send an invitation is 'envoyer une invitation' in French.

Dear Friends, Many thanks for you invitation but I will not be able to attend
It is only etiquette if you have contacted the host or hostess to let them know you will accept the dinner invitation, but you will have to leave on the early side to attend another function. If you accepted the dinner invitation and later the other function came up then it is rude not to stay for the dinner and leave early.
It depends. Where do you want to sent a chat invitation too?
for friendship
You dont
