How should you invite friends to your home for lunch?

Answer 1

If you are good friends, then you can probably just ask them directly if they want to come over to your house.
If not, then you can probably invite them over by suggesting an activity which you could do at your house. For example play Video Games together etc.

Answer 2

It could depend on the person you're acquainted with. When he/she tells you that you're invited to join that person before, then it is okay. Always get permission first. A shy, nice person does not have to mean that he/she can be taken advantage of. It is all about understanding boundaries. Knock first before asking to come in, ask a person "May I have this dance?" before the approval, call first before visiting someone. I'm sure that an etiquette book has answers for that.

I personally prefer a nice, quiet meal or date time with a person that I enjoy being with, like a boyfriend or one friend, depending on who pays for it and how much to pay. It is somehow okay for another friend (your other friend or your friend's friend) to just run into you or your friend, talk for a little while, and just leave. To ask, "Can I join you?" is rude. Especially when you don't expect to pay for their meal. You can find a time and a place for that friend to have date time with, not on the very same date and place as the one you are already having with that one friend. Would it be rude to respond with, "You can join us as long as you pay for your own meal"? You need to respect a friend's boundaries with that other friend on their date time. Plain and simple.

Answer 3

Inviting yourself to lunch at a friend's home is generally considered poor manners; however, if it is a good friend and you often eat at each other's homes, you might just ask if it is okay to eat lunch with him or her at their home. It probably is not a good idea to ask often and is probably best not to ask at all, except in rare circumstances.

"Hey guys, what are you doing for lunch"... nothing.. blah blah.. "Wanna come over to my place fo lunch" pretty simple
