this doesnt do the trick as it will produce a table containing the following
columns:
1- stations.name
2- invitations.invitation_status
3- count(*) , which is the count of the number of invitations which have
this status for this particular stations.

this is not what i need, the output should be something like that

stations.name | # of invitations | # confirmed | # cancelled | # postponed
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
 station A        |    30                |    20           |     5
|    5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 station B        |    25                |    14           |     3
|    8
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
 station C        |    47                |    29           |     6
|    12
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

to remind you about the problem:
1) stations
         -id
         -name
 2) invitations
         -id
         -station_id
         -invitation_status (confirmed, cancelled, postponed)

 I need a query that generate a report about each station with ther
 corresponding number of invitations and a breaddown of inviations to show
 total number of each invitation_status
