If we want to invite someone to come to our event, then there are several ways we can tell that
person.
Inviting (Mengundang)

There are several choices of sentences that are usually used to invite someone
(+) I’d like to invite you to my birthday next Sunday at my home?
(+) Would you like to have dinner with us on Saturday?

The sentence above is a formal sentence, meaning it is addressed to people who are not familiar
or we do not know that person.

(+) What/How about dinner tonight?

(+) I’m going to a barbeque party. Care to join me?

Some of the sentences above are informal sentences, which are usually used for someone we
have known for a long time and are familiar.
