Which of these do you like better?
“You’re invited!” or “Everyone’s welcome!”
Holy buckets! There’s a big difference in my mind between those two phrases.
One is personal. The other is just permissive.
There’s going to be a Girls’ Night out. Or a BBQ. Some folks doing Kareoke. A church event. Lots of people are going. You know that because you’ve seen it on Facebook or read Tweets about it.
But you’re not invited.
If you asked, they’d probably say, “Sure, come! Everyone is welcome!” But that’s different from being personally invited.
