Unfortunately
"Fortunately, Chris got an invitation to a party in the mail." Unfortunately, I have no idea what kind of party is held in the mail. (A reference to the Marx Brothers.)
I was also reminded of a routine from my childhood (told by another child) about a someone skydiving without a parachute. "No, that's good." "No, that's bad."

what kind of party is held in the mail?
Quite obviously a medieval one.
Fortunately for the party arrangers Chris turned up despite all problems ;)
Or (to paraphrase)
Any party that invites me is not a party that I want to go to.
