Doesn't realize the insincerity of the invitation
Gatsby doesn't realize that Mrs. Sloane's dinner invitation is a superficial gesture meant to maintain appearances in high society. Mrs. Sloane and her husband are not genuinely interested in building a meaningful connection with Gatsby; instead, they view him as a spectacle to observe and entertain themselves with. Ultimately, Gatsby underestimates the shallowness of their social interactions.
Tom and the Sloanes snub Gatsby after inviting him to dinner because they see him as socially inferior despite his wealth. They view Gatsby as a nouveau riche interloper and don't consider him part of their established wealthy social circle. By snubbing him, they assert their superiority and maintain their social status.

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.

A "sought-after invitation" is an invitation to an important event that many people would like to attend but very few will be able to. For example: an invitation to a White House Dinner would be a sought after invitation, as would an invitation to a film premiere in Cannes. I have yet to get an invitation to either, but I sure would like one!
