So picture yourself in this situation: you have an appointment with your dentist this evening and your friend calls you up on the phone inviting you to a party. You can't believe how much of a bad luck you had for having to go to the dentist on the same day your friend is throwing a party. Since there's no other way around it you explain him what you're doing tonight and in a polite way you turn down his invitation. Here's what you say: Sorry, but I have dentist tonight and I can't cancel it. I'll have to beg off!
When you beg off, you politely decline an informal invitation. It's like you really wanted to go to that party, but for some reason you can't. Notice that that's an informal expression and therefore should only be used for informal invitations. That's it for today. Talk to you next time!
