The other day I was asked to a party.

Another party was already happening that night.

It is a pity, because I liked the other people better.

Oh well, I will see them another time

The difference is the same as for the difference between table and a tableother and another.

Put the money on the table.  Put the money on the other table.
Please fix the broken lamp.  And fix the other broken lamp, too.

Some people are always happy.  Other people always complain.
Many students understood the sentence.  Other students did not understand it.

I need a new table.  I need another new table.
I saw an interesting movie yesterday.  I saw another interesting movie today.
