the English language...here is a copy of my very quick Google search on the use of "Invite", or "Inviting" as more than just a verb...
-------------------
Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to use the word "inviting" in a non-formal context to describe something as attractive or welcoming, even if it doesn't refer to a formal invitation.
Here's a breakdown:
"Inviting" as an adjective:
The word "inviting" can function as an adjective, meaning "attractive, tempting, or encouraging".
Examples:
"The cozy fireplace made the room feel inviting."
"She had an inviting smile."
"The restaurant's menu looked very inviting."
Formal vs. Informal:
While "invite" is a verb used in formal invitations, "inviting" as an adjective is a common and natural way to describe something that is attractive or welcoming in a more general sense.

No charge for the lesson, Jake...you're welcome. Now, be sure to be more "Inviting" of women on this message board...promise?
