Quick answer
How to invite guests to a Memorial Day party
Send Memorial Day party invitations two to three weeks ahead, since many people plan travel for the long weekend. Give the date, time and address, whether it's a cookout or potluck, and what to bring, such as a side dish or lawn chair. If you'll pause for the 3 p.m. Moment of Remembrance, say so. Ask for replies a week before, with everyone replying from one link.

Memorial Day Party RSVP questions
Is it appropriate to have a party on Memorial Day?
Yes. Cookouts and family gatherings are a long American tradition on the holiday. What sets a Memorial Day party apart is keeping the meaning in view: fly the flag at half-staff until noon, pause at 3 p.m. local time for the National Moment of Remembrance, or say a few words before the meal. In formal remarks, skip wishing guests a 'happy' Memorial Day.
What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?
Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, honors service members who died in military service. Veterans Day, on November 11, honors everyone who has served, living or dead. The distinction matters for your wording: a Memorial Day gathering remembers the fallen, so 'thank you for your service' fits Veterans Day better. Recognizing veterans who attend is still welcome.
