Explanation:
The right spelling:
Dziekuje za zaproszenie. Sto lat zdrowia.

sto lat zdrowia - It could be connected with some occasion, birthday for example (in that case - happy birthday)
other occasions - best wishes

Explanation:
This is how I would translate this particular text. They're not just ordinary wishes they're wishes of health and long life. I think the recepient would be pleased to hear this greeting. I wouldn't mention "100 years" because people now live longer than 100 years. The "sto lat" greeting is a very old greeting. It started when people didn't live to a 100.
