							| I too would use either: Please come to my house at 8pm. Please come to my home at 8pm.   You could also say: Come to my place at 8pm.   Hope it helps. Julia |  20 May 2010

							| Hi,   You can use both; however, we make a distinction between a house and a home. We say, "A house is not a home unless there is love in it."     Have a good day at your home.   Carla |  20 May 2010

							| I �d favour "house" or "place", especially for a birthday invitation.
