Welcome to the forums, Lily30. Use "You are welcome..."

Only "You are welcome to join me." is correct.

Hello. I need your help please. "You are welcomed to join me" or "You are welcome to join me"? Thank you.

Note my corrections above. We end sentences with a single, appropriate punctuation mark. Please enclose the phrases you are querying in quotation marks (or italicise them) to set them apart from the rest of the sentence.

Hello, Lilly:

I, too, get confused with the word "welcome."

It might help to remember that "welcome" is an adjective. For example, when someone thanks you for a favor, you reply "You are welcome."

It is a verb in "You are welcomed." For example: "When you visit Hawaii, you are welcomed by a lei [a string of flowers] being put around your neck." That is to say, "They welcome [verb] you by putting a lei around your neck."
