Say no, politely
Declining an invitation or a request is easier when the message is kind and short. OnKey has a "Politely decline" starter for exactly this.
Before and after

Thank you for the invitation. Regrettably, I cannot attend Friday's dinner because of work commitments. I hope to join you next time.

How to do it with OnKey
Write it your way. Rough is fine. Type it in the app you are already using.
Switch to OnKey and use Rewrite. Hold the globe key, pick OnKey, then tap the action on the strip.
Set the tone. Try Professional for this one.
Read it, then Insert. Edit anything you like before you send. Undo brings your draft back.
