Invitations

If the event will be a formal party you would have to send printed invitations and
people would confirm their attendance or not. But if it's informal a text message
would be fine.

Visit someone’s home

When you visit a friend, it’s courtesy to bring a dessert or some beverage to share
with them durin the visit.

Giving gifts
Normally people give gifts on special occasions like birthdays or Christmas, unless
you are closer to the person like a love relationship.

Offering or refusing food

Im think that refusing food is rude for the person who prepares it and offering it is
very common.
