Thank you so much for having us... Tue May 23, 2006 14:08 pm  Thank you so much for having us...
 

These are two sentences, really:

Thank you so much for having us, which means thank you for your hospitality, thank you for welcoming/receiving/entertaining us.

You must come to us next time is a way of returning the invitation and means now it’s your turn to come to our house.

Saying 'you must come to us' does not imply duty or obligation, but rather that it is a very good idea to do so.
