you are welcome to our house

Hi,

When some guest comes to my house, I would say: Welcome to my house.
But Can I say "You are welcome to my house"? Is it ungrammatical?

Thanks a lot.

It's not ungrammatical. It wouldn't be very English, because the precision of the sentence might suggest there were other places where the person wasn't welcome.

You also have to be quite careful with "you are welcome to {place X}": see you are welcome to a place vs you are welcome to something

Thank you very much.
