(2) You should have come = referring to something that you didn't do in the past. Yesterday's party was great. You should have come. You would have liked it a lot (if you had come). Too bad you missed it.

Welcome to the Forums, keemoz!

You should come: it will be good if you come, I hope you do, etc.

You should have come: you didn't come, but it would have been good to have you there, we missed you, etc.
