BURNS SUPPER

Пожалуйста/ прошу
Explanation:
If the connotation is ironical, probably the best will be "прошу".

In other contexts "пожалуйста" will do.

In and of itself the word "wellcome" can also mean "Добро пожаловать" - You are wellcome to my ho,e> I am happy to see you etc.

agree  Alexandra Tussing: possible, but only if we are addressing children. While there are, probably, some children at a Burns Supper, I would not think they are the majority of the audience.
