Good morning, Mary!
Good morning, John!
I want to have a few friends over for a dinner party to celebrate my birthday. Would you be able to come the next weekend on Saturday?
I'd be delighted to, John. Saturday did you say?
Yes, if that's all right for you.
I'm pretty sure I'll be all right. In fact, I'd be delighted to come over and celebrate your birthday with you. What time are you planning to start?
Oh, good. If you could come around six thirty or seven o'clock, that would give us some time to chat a whit over a glass of wine before dinner.
That sounds fine. I'll be there around seven.
