~たい次第 expression meaning
I think 次第 is being used as a formal and polite way to mention the
circumstances or reason for the desire expressed by
たい.（頂きたい気持ちが湧いた、その事情のことが「次第」）

> お誘いいただきたい **次第です** 。
>
> " **So** I eagerly await your invitation."

You could also say,

> お誘いいただきたい **のです** 。  
>  お誘いいただきたい **わけです** 。

with basically the same meaning, just a little less polite and formal.
