I need to use date in a mod that I'm creating

Hi everyone,

Helping me won't be an easy task. Firstly because I'm french and I don't speak english very well. Secondly because I'm a novice in the using of the Creation Kit. Thirdly, because I have the feeling that what I'm asking is complicated !
So thank you very much if you have the bravour to focus on my case.
And please, don't redirect me toward the french forums : I do want to improve my english, and my mod is english.

So ! I explain myself. The mod I'm creating is a kind of adventure. It begins with a messenger who gives the player a paper. It's an invitation to a party in a parlor.
But the party occures at a specific date. So the player have to be at the parlor at the specific date... If he's there before the date, nothing will happen in the parlor, and it will be the same if he go there after... Of course the complications start here.

I want the date to be written within the invitation.
Since I don't know what the IG date will be when the player will receive the invitation, I decided that the party will occure 10 days after the current date of the player.
So if I'm logical, I need a script that establish the date of the party when the player opens the invitation (10 days afterwards so). That writes this date within the invitation. And that actives a quest stage when this date is reached (a quest stage that would itself actives all the event at the parlor).

So the question I'm asking, maybe in a bold way : how can I do that ?

I assure you that I'm skiming the tutorials on the Skyrim Creation Kit Wiki but I do think that considering my level, it won't suffice ! I feel that I will, in any case, need the help of someone experienced.

So if someone may inform me, I would appreciate it very much !

Thanks for reading,
Best regards

PS : If you didn't understood some of my words, please tell me !
