Ellos no me invitamos a participar en el vaciones, por lo tanto preguntaré o
"They did not invite" would be "invitaron". "No me invitaron". "They did not invite me.".
"las vacaciones"por ser plural y femenina.,,,

In English we generally use the singular form of the word: 'holiday' as for example: I am going on holiday to Spain, however, the Spanish people always use the plural form: vacaciones (feminine) Therefore, when referring to the word,' holidays' in Spanish the substitutionary personal pronoun here would be ellas (las vacaciones)
They did not invite me to join their holiday. I will therefore, not ask or speak about it (them).
I would say:
Ellos no me invitaron a participar en sus vacaciones. Por lo tanto (o por eso), no preguntaré o hablaré sobre ellas.
The correct verb conjugation of the verb invitar for they is invitaron = they invited. Invitamos is not correct in your sentence! Invitamos= we (not they) invited
I hope this helps
Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Since you want to learn I'm going to point out some things to you and ask you to give it another try.
Ellos no me invitamos a participar en el vaciones, por lo tanto preguntaré o hablar los sobre.
The verb invitar is conjugated for "we" while it should be conjugated for "they"
You misspelled vacation. Also it is feminine and plural so el is not the right article.
You cannot end a sentence with a preposition in Spanish.
You don't have a negative statement in the final clause. You need a negative word such as no or ni.
In the last phrase you have one verb in the future and another in the present which is quite unusual.
In the last phrase you have the verb hablar in the infinitive form. It should be conjugated in this case since it follows the conjunction "o"
