I would like to emphasize that though the word may be correctly used in that way, it is very unusual, you most likely will never hear it used that way, and if you use it in that way, you will sound very odd.

You are welcome, anytime.
Without context, this sounds more like a response to a "thank you" than anything else. Perhaps that wouldn't be the case following some other conversation or text.

You are welcome to visit us anytime.
You are welcome here, anytime.
And any other number of variations, including "We would love for you to visit when you're in the area." Or.... "Let's plan on visiting when you're in the area again."

I'll get my suit cleaned. = I'll cause someone else to clean my suit.

... I'll make arrangements for the right person to do this work -- someone who is qualified and capable. I'll contact that person and request that they add this work to their schedule.
In both instances, "I" is fully involved in driving this work to completion.
Sorry, I don't understand the "stupid" part.

Renowned as the greatest beauty of her age, she was the subject of countless portraits, including many by the Italian master Sandro Botticelli.
