[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I use “You’re welcome to come” I mean
- you were not on the original invite list for some reason, but we’d like to have you. I use that when I am inviting a sibling to a kids party, usually because I needed to wait until I had some people decline to know I had space or because I sensed that it might be helpful if you could drop off all your kids for a few hours. 
- I was planning on going alone, but I would not mind company if you are interested 
- I am enjoying talking to you, but I have a time sensitive errand or activity I need to get to. We can continue this conversation if you want to tag along. 
- I am relating our plans to attend some public event or location. I wasn’t planning on coordinating plans, but it will not be awkward if I run into you there and in fact I’d be happy to see you. [/quote]

I do these cases and also the case of me or my family planning to do something and we'd like your or your family's company but we realize you might not want to or it might be inconvenient. It's generally not a hard and fast set time: 
"We're setting up the slip and slide, you and the kids are welcome to come over." 
"It's been a long week. I'll be lounging on the hammock on Saturday and you're welcome to come hang out. We can set up another one."[/quote]
