neutral  Edward Plaisance Jr: if you "screw up" a party, it means you actually attend the party and do something to mess it up...if you "screw up" an invitation it means you get the date/time/location wrong

  -> Thank you Edward ... but in the above link, I think one of them best describe this phrase ... Also I found this phrase in one of the Persian websites but I did not insert it ... I thought it may be enough for this pharse ... By the way, thank you
