[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often say "you are welcome to come" over "I want you to come" We throw a lot of parties, so I feel like there is less pressure with the phrase "to are welcome to come."[/quote] For me "you are welcome" means "I'd love to see you but no pressure."[/quote] Yes! Exactly. As in "We are pulling out the firepit tonight. You are welcome to join us" That is much preferable to "We are pulling out the firepit tonight. We want you to come over" The first one puts the guest into a place where they can think "Hey, the Smiths invited us over. Care to drop in for a beer and smores?" While the 2nd one puts you in a place where "Ugh, we have to go over to the Smith's tonight." Low pressure vs pressure to show ip. [/quote]
