Rain Check !!!  

  
Jean: My brother and his family will be coming into town next week.
Joe:  Is he the one who writes articles for the English Post ?
Jean: Right, why don't you come over next Sunday to meet him.
Joe:  I'd love to but I can't. Can you give me a rain check !!!
Jean: Sure, they'll be here for a week. So just let me know when you can come.
Joe:  Ok ! I will be very interested in seeing him.

Explanation :

If you say you will take a rain check on an offer or suggestion, you mean that you do not want to accept it straight away, but you might accept it at another time.

Example :

I was planning to ask you in for a brandy, but if you want to take a rain check , that's fine .......
