Thank you for your fast reply. I got that sentence from an English leaning website.

I appreciate the invite, but: This is a polite way to say “no” to an invitation. Sometimes people give a reason for saying no. For example, “I appreciate the invite, but we have other plans tonight.” Sometimes people don’t give a reason. For example, “I appreciate the invite, but I can’t.”
