You tell the truth in most cases. If you disagree with the type of bachelor or bachelorette party then you don't want to upset the Bride and Groom to be so you'll have to tell them you have made other arrangements and are sorry you can't make it. If you are going out of town or made other commitments say so in your response. Example: 'Thank you for the invitation to the bachelor party (or bachelorette party), but I am unable to attend because I have accepted another invitation on that date.' You don't have to go into explanation. If you like you can drop off a gift if gifts are accepted and wish them well.

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!
