Wedding Welcome Sign Ideas

by dustytoes

Create custom wedding welcome signs to match your wedding theme.

Big welcome signs are popular with couples. Usually they stand on an easel at the entrance to the ceremony and / or reception to welcome guests. Often they can also thank guests for attending. Simple signs need only have the names of the bride and groom.

Signs on this page are shown on either a foam core board, or acrylic signs with a transparent appearance. Each can be created on many sizes, and easy to use templates for text and photos are provided. Designs are easily transferable to other products, such as a poster, fabric banner, canvas, or other.

Why Include a Wedding Welcome Sign

Show off your wedding theme, and welcome guests to the celebration.

Welcome signs are usually quite large and are set up on an easel, table, or hung from a frame stand.  The idea is to showcase the couple and to welcome guests to the ceremony and / or reception.

Wedding signs can be anything a couple wants.  They can be plain and simple, without any design, or they can have names, the date of the event, and a thank you message.  Guests attending will see the sign as it will be placed near the entrance to the church, hall, or venue.

Acrylic Signs in Transparent or Opaque Designs

Acrylic signs are popular because of their transparent or opaque quality.  Depending on the design, certain areas can be left uncovered, giving the design a floating appearance.  A transparent image can make the text stand out, as needed.  

The two sign examples below show how the acrylic material can appear.  Floral images, in the form of realistic blue hydrangeas, are part of both designs.

Wedding Welcome Signs With Photos

Add one or more photos for guests to enjoy.

The welcome signs in my stores can also have a photo template.  This is a great place to share some favorite engagement photos.  Give guests a look into a time just before the marriage.  A time before all the official wedding ceremony and reception photos are taken.

Photos can be more casual, for a casual low-key event.  Include family, and / or pets.  Maybe use a photo of the entire family, or group of friends who will take part in the wedding.  The sky is the limit with photo welcome signs.

As is true for all signs, choose a design that matches, or enhances, your wedding theme.  My collection of signs is not large at the moment, so don't hesitate to contact me through one of my online stores and ask for a sign design to be made for you.

Change the Wording For All Pre-wedding Events

Most of these Wedding welcome sign examples have text meant to welcome guests to a wedding ceremony.  Using the text templates to change all wording means the signs can be used for other pre-wedding celebrations.

Welcome family and the wedding party to the Rehearsal Dinner.  Welcome the ladies to a female only Bridal Shower.  Show off your wedding theme on a sign at the Engagement party.

Acrylic Sign Sizes and Information

Smaller size signs work very well on the reception tables, bar area, and guest book table.

Acrylic welcome signs have designs printed on the back of the acrylic. This way the design is protected.  I believe it will arrive with a removable coating that peels off.  This should keep it from scratching in transport.

The acrylic signs come in specific sizes.  From 8x10, to 24x36, and four more sizes in between. Smaller size signs can be purchased with a wooden stand.

Sign Sizes in Foam Core Boards

A smaller size welcome sign would work on a table inside the church, or reception area.

Welcome signs come in an array of sizes and shapes.  The designs I create are usually added to large signs, with the option to go smaller.  Going larger can make the images unclear, so bigger is best to begin with.

Foam core posters boards can be made to order in the size you prefer.  Usually I begin with a design that fits well on the 20x30 inch size.  This is quite large, but the design will also work on sizes all the way down to 8x10 inches.

Wedding Sign Themes and Custom Designs

A reminder to order early as these signs are printed especially for you!

Welcome sign designs can be as diverse as any wedding theme.  The sign can be a color only, or embellished with photos and designs.  The sign should represent the couple and their unique desire to show appreciation to wedding guests.  The welcome sign should do just that, welcome everyone to a very special day.

My stores cater to beach themes (Sandpiper Wedding) and floral designs (BlueHyd).  Most of the photo signs have rustic woodland themes.  Each sign is set up with basic text (and photos for some) but the design elements themselves would be easy to change to almost any theme.  Please just ask.

Zazzle will make your sign.  I provide the design elements and templates.  Zazzle will print it, box it up, and ship it.  Your sign is unique to you, and must be made individually.  Remember to place your order early enough that the sign will arrive way before you need it!

Each page contains a little black truck icon.  Click that link and add your zip code to see when the product can be expected to arrive.Shipping timeline example at Zazzle

Katie, yes easels are big these days for all types of events. Welcome signs can be used for everything - and not only to say "welcome". The QR codes are a lifesaver ;) I bet your daughter stays very busy.

Dustytoes, my daughter is the director of events at a country club that hosts a wide array of events. She has a folding/standing easel to hold posters, such as those included in this post, and wedding welcome signs. She uses it for everything, from birthday parties and weddings to baby showers, bridal showers, anniversary parties, golf outings, retirement parties, funerals, every holiday, and more. It's nice to know you provide such a service. I especially appreciate the ease of access to your products via QR codes.
