disinvited

Welcome was withdrawn

Disinvited means to have had an invitation rescinded.

Someone who was disinvited was initially invited to an event or gathering, then told not to come: She was disinvited from the wedding after the argument.

The word often implies social awkwardness or conflict—you don't disinvite someone without reason.
