A Welcome X party

[finalorbit]

A friend is putting together a party to welcome an Italian friend to Los Angeles. I have three phrases I'd like to verify.

Benvenuto Marco! - Welcome Marco!
Benvenuto A Los Angeles! - Welcome to Los Angeles!

A "Welcome Luca" Party (Context: You are invited to a "Welcome Marco" party). Not sure how to phrase that at all.

Grazie a tutti!

G.

I'll tell you what, Necsus, you go to the dictionary and cut & paste where it exactly explains the idiomatic... "A Welcome Marco Party"

Thank you so much for your courteous help, but none of your links seem to answer my question.

I'm nowhere close to a native, but it seems like maybe "Siete cordialmente invitati a una festa di benvenuto per Marco," might work. Perhaps a native can tweak it and "make it so?"

 

[finalorbit]

Hey Marcolettici, thanks for this! I thought that the Italian version my be more wordy. I think the phrase might not translate easily. I agree, a native might be able to tweak it.

Grazie!

From the thread Welcome Dinner (in the dictionary link):

I'm a native English speaker-- and need help with the phrase "Welcome Dinner."

"cena di benvenuto" is correct and usual in Italian!

Welcome dinner party = festa di benvenuto.

Thanks Necsus, but I do think what I'm asking is idiomatic to English. I appreciate the links and your translations, but I can see it's off from what I'm asking. Marcolettici is the closest I can get, I'm afraid.

Thanks for your time.

I can see it's off from what I'm asking. Marcolettici is the closest I can get, I'm afraid.

Firstly, I'd just like to point out that Necsus and Marcolettici have suggested the same thing.

Secondly, you wouldn't directly translate "a Welcome Marco party" into Italian - you would say "a Welcome party for Marco", which is what Necsus and Marcolettici have suggested.
una festa di benvenuto per Marco

Thanks Glasguensis. <...>

Ciao!
