disinvites
Takes back welcome
Disinvites is the verb for revoking an invitation already extended.
Someone who disinvites a guest tells them not to come after all: She disinvited him from the wedding after the argument.
The act carries awkwardness—it acknowledges the original welcome while withdrawing it.
As a noun, disinvites are the revocations themselves.
