Explanation:
In Turkish "hoşgeldiniz" (hosh-gel-diniz) is enough, "evime" is used to emphasise "my home," but it can sound a little patronising, (like emphasising "it is my home."), especially when you talk to your son's girlfriend.

In formal speech "hoshgeldiniz" is used. For an informal and cordial greeting "hoshgeldin" can be used. In Turkish second person singular is widely used, while second person plural "hosh-geldiniz) is more formal.
