both sound odd but maybe I am in too deep.....

Invited and Cordially

I would LOVE to be "cordially incited". It sounds like a very polite exhortation to go rioting.

Um, I may be being dim but aren't they the same?

Start the whole thing again please, I'm lost

Neither. No-one says "cordially" ever.

Fuck and double fuck

Ok

Here's the real question:

"you are most cordially invited..."

OR

"you are invited most cordially..."

More haste, less speed.

Calatalie, darling, why don't you smash that jeweller's window? You know you want to, and I'm sure they won't mind. No, please, after you, I insist.

That sort of thing?

"You are invited" - anything else sounds horribly non-U.

You are cordially invited, although as someone upthread said, it's a bit old-fashioned. If it's a formal event I'd put "Blah-blah is delighted to invite you..."

Thank you otter. I am delighted to accept your kind incitement.

Yellow

But I want it to sound a bit OTT

Don't care about the u / non u thing

I am very non u

But i don't want to make a grammatical error!

Oh, yes, I like the idea of cordially inciting someone!

you are cordially invited.

never most.

Ok
I have gone with 'you are cordially'

But why no 'most'?

cos that's not in the phrase!

>But why no 'most'?
'cordially' is OTT enough. most cordially is OTT and down the other side again. Too much.
