We were certainly glad to hear it.

We haven't declined an alliance in recent memory, but our go to phrase is "Unfortunately, team 910 The Foley Freeze is going to have to give you the cold shoulder this time." We've had a few debates about this, as some people think that this could come off as non-graciously professional, so we don't know if we would use it in practice.
Personally, I think it would be fine. Maybe preface it with "While we appreciate the offer,...". It certainly would be consistent with your invitations.

But we have a new phrase for accepting an offer, so hopefully we'll get to use it before the season is over. And it's even more cheesy and punny
Hope you get a chance to use it. Yours is a great team!
