I beg to differ
Invite is a thing. Wedding invites. Party invites. It is a noun as well. Certinly cloakreally, anyway.

In which case...
...you are already dead to me. Wedding Invitations. Party Invitations.

Who the hell do these colloquians think they are anyway? Coming over here and taking our words?

From the Oxford English Dictionary: invite

• verb 1 ask in a friendly or formal way to go somewhere or to do something. 2 request (something) formally or politely. 3 tend to provoke (a particular outcome or response).

• noun informal an invitation.

Informal in this case meaning 'used by a chav' or 'used by a person from Cambridge'...

I have what is known in certain circles as "An Agreement".
