You are in luck. Here is an actual letter I sent to two friends of mine earlier this month in response to their March 31 wedding invitation (only the names are changed).
 
 
[SIZE=4][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=#000000]Hi, Bob and Peggy --[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=#000000]As Bob knows, I have a potential conflict on the evening of March 31. If Syracuse is playing in the Final Four, I will be in New Orleans that evening. Conceivably, I may not know for certain until March 25 whether I am going to New Orleans (unless Syracuse inexplicably loses earlier in the NCAA tournament).[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=#000000]I realize this may sound like a tacky excuse. I really want to attend the wedding, but Syracuse basketball is my favorite hobby and I travel to all SU games during the NCAA tournament. (And we will likely be a #1 seed this year). [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=#000000]I hope you can wait until a later date to know whether I can attend. If not, I will understand.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=#000000]Sincerely,[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
