Quick answers

What do I actually say?

One specific thing to do, and one time. Vague invitations are hard to answer.

Can I ask over text?

Yes, and it is often kinder. It gives them room to think before replying.

When should I ask?

Earlier in the week for a weekend plan, so it does not read as an afterthought.

And if they say no?

Accept it once, warmly, and move on. Handling it well costs you nothing.
