A courteous way to turn down an invitation is to express gratitude for the invite, such as saying, "Thank you so much for the invitation; I really appreciate it."

It's also nice to express interest in future gatherings, such as, "I hope to join next time!"

Because, sometimes, when a person wearing a full mask comes up to you and asks for all your money, being courteous might make them reconsider. Although, on second thought, if they are already contemplating robbing people, they probably don't have the morals to even understand what a courteous jesture is.
