your are always welcome

Dear all,

I have to write a greeting and it should start with a welcome. But the mere word "Welcome!" seems to short to me. Could I write "You are always welcome"? Does it not have a meaning of a reply to "Thank you"?
If you have other suggestions, I would be glad to hear them.

Thank you.

' If you are greeting people that you do not know well, then it is good to use a longer sentence. Your suggestion looks find to me: - We are pleased to meet new visitors at our centre - you are always welcome It is very usual as a reply to thanks. If a stranger asks you for directions in the street and you are able to help them, then: - Thanks!

Thanks, so I will use "You are always welcome!" at the beginning.
