To cordially invite someone to an event means to be cheerful or happy whilst inviting someone to a specific event. It is just being polite to your guest.
You can politely express your interest in attending the event and ask if there is room for one more guest.
No you do not take a gift to a dinner party when you are a guest of honor. You are the focus point of the dinner party. However, after the event you should send a note of thanks to the hostess.
A Guest of Honor was created in 1903.
The phrase "I request the honor of your noble presence" is a formal and somewhat outdated way to invite someone to an event, often used in royal or aristocratic contexts. However, the wording "of of" appears to be a typographical error. A corrected version would be "I request the honor of your presence," which is appropriate for formal invitations.
I will introduce the graduates to the guest of honor by first providing a brief overview of their accomplishments and contributions during their time at the institution. Then, I will invite each graduate to step forward as I share a few highlights about their individual journeys, emphasizing their unique strengths and achievements. Finally, I will encourage the guest of honor to offer a few words of inspiration to the graduates, celebrating their hard work and future potential.
When writing a card to invite a chief guest, be sure to include the event details such as the date, time, and location. Clearly mention that you are inviting them to be the chief guest and express your gratitude for their presence. Keep the tone formal and respectful, and provide contact information for RSVP.
Ladies and gentlemen, teachers, and students, it is with great honor and pleasure that I welcome our esteemed guest to our school's annual day celebration.

Thank you for being a part of this special event, and we look forward to your inspiring words and guidance. Welcome!

I dare to attempt to initiate an answer though I am not an expert on this subject. It appears that the phrase 'Chief guest' does not exist at all. It is actually 'Guest of Honor' who addresses at the gathering and officially opens a formal function concluding his speech. In a sense 'Chief guest' and the 'Guest of honor' are one and the same. Then why the question of difference between these two words arises. After searching the net for a possible answer I noticed that Chief Guest is not used any where except in India. So, in Indian context 'Chief Guest' is equivalent to 'Guest of honor'. They use Chief Guest in the sense of 'Guest of honor'. If that is all it would have not been a problem. But the real confusion arises as both 'Chief Guest' and 'Guest of honor' are being used by Indians for showing some differentiation among the guests invited particularly when there are more number of guests to a formal function. Since they can not call every one of these eminent personalities invited to the function a 'Chief Guest', it might have been practice in India to use 'Guest of honor' for other eminent people than 'Chief Guests' to show respect. The 'Chief Guest' in India enjoys/assumes the role what 'Guest of honor' enjoys/assumes else where. And the 'Guest of Honor' is used in India only to give some importance to the guest invited to the function but nothing else and it should not be confused with 'Guest of Honor' used out of India.
