Salut Camille,
Merci pour ton invitation ! Je serais ravi de venir dîner chez toi samedi.
Est-ce que je peux apporter un dessert ? Je pourrais préparer une tarte aux pommes.
Je travaille jusqu’à 18 heures, donc j’arriverai vers 19 heures. Dis-moi si cela te convient.
À samedi !
Alex
Why these phrases fit a friendly reply
The conditional in je serais ravi and je pourrais is polite without making the email formal. The arrival time gives Camille something practical to plan around.
Choose the right tone
Choose language that fits the relationship.
À bientôt ! can also fit a friendly email. There is no single compulsory closing.
