Both sentences are "right". But without knowing the context it is impossible to say which of the two is the more likely choice. For example, the first sentence would probably be used in reply to the question: What are you doing this evening? But there are other contexts in which the second sentence would be the better choice.

Both sentences are right*. The first would indicate that you are the host; the second is ambiguous about whether you are the host or visiting someone else. (*) It should be a few friends; saying you have few friends is not right -- it's similar to "little" and "a little".

@AndrewLeach With few friends is certainly unusual, but it's not necessarily wrong. It would mean without many friends, and would be used to emphasize the point that you don't have many friends—rather than that it's only a particular few on this occasion. However, having said that, it's unlikely that was the intended meaning here. And if it were, it should probably be with my few friends.
