Estoy escribiendo que aprecio una invitación, pero no sé si mi oración es correcta. Por favor, ayudame un poco.

"Muchas gracias Olanda por tu invitación para la mascarada."

¿Recomendaciónes?

Gracias mis compañeros.

tu invitación a la fiesta de disfraces (mascarada means disguise or farse)

:) Right on. I should have been more careful with the translation of masquerade. Thanks. - TheStatelessMan, Oct 7, 2012

There's absolutely nothing wrong with either «Gracias por tu invitación para la fiesta de disfraces» or «Gracias por tu invitación a la fiesta de disfraces», although I would personally use "para" rather than "a."

Emotions and gratitudes are always express with por.

Welcome to the forum!

I'd say, "Muchas gracias ....por ..... invitación de la..."

P.s. To thank someone for something is always "Gracias por." You can think of it as an exchange--thanks in exchange for a gift or something someone has done for you.
