How do I invite friends on Minecraft PE to my world?

I have a long distance relationship and a few internet friends that I often play games with online. Unfortunately, when I try to add friends onto my friends list it takes me to the Xbox live phone application. I have already added my friends to my Xbox live account. But I also can't send invites from inside my world and sometimes my friends don't see me in my friends list when I'm online.
I have no idea what I'm doing and I have no idea how to fix it.

What's up with Minecraft? And how do I fix it?
What needs to be changed.

P.S; Some friends can send me invites and it works, but sometimes other friends would send me invites and it would not load.

Minecraft town building ideas?

I'm playing Minecraft Pocket Edition and I'm making a village into a town (in Creative mode), but I have no ideas for buildings.

I'd like to build things that have a use in Survival mode when I play that mode later.
So far I've got a bunch of houses, a clocktower and a tavern.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
(Ps. It's currently a sort of old, somewhat medieval town.)
