Please may I join you for a meal on Saturday evening?

I have now booked a table for Saturday 3rd September, 19:45 at the Blacksmiths Arms.

If you are thinking of coming and haven't let me know yet, please don't leave it too late as it's a small place and increasing the number nearer the date might be difficult.
