No point in beating around the bush might as well be straight up. That’s why when people pass me their baby I lay it on the ground and say no thanks.
You can just say, "Sorry, but I won't be able to make it." You don't need to provide a reason. And you don't need to be rude.
Don't be a jerk about it... Just say thanks for the invite, but I need to take care of some things/ have work to do...
But just saying "I don't want to" is being rude.
I've done that before. Some people don't like it. Only you know whether you're the type that cares.
