Answer 1

Nos gustaría invitarte a cenar...

We'd like to have you over for dinner...

Have over is a phrasal verb. It doesn't have a literal translation. it means invitar a alguién... Therefore, Nos gustaría invitarte a cenar / a la cena :) - nelson_rafael, Feb 11, 2014

Answer 2

Here. It's your turn to take a 'selfie'.

¡Ven! Te toca a tí para sacarte un 'selfie'. una foto si mismo.

Since selfie is a new word and doesn't have a translation I recommend you to keep it as selfie: Te toca sarcarte un "selfie". :) - nelson_rafael, Feb 11, 2014
