What’s the best part of your wedding day? I suspect the answer to that one is different from person to person, but it’s probably not a stretch to assume that one of the best parts of a wedding is celebrating the new union with our favorite people.

There are plenty of details to pamper our guests, from fun favors to fancy wedding signs that’ll make them feel like the VIPs they are!Since we love nothing more than shopping for all things wedding, we frequently write about these small but meaningful details.

Wedding signs are one of those details that make more of an impact than you might think. After all, you’ll be very busy getting ready, so your sign will be your guests’ official welcome to your wedding ceremony!

1. Arcadia

by Minted: Jennifer Wick

Vintage/Retro Wedding Welcome Signs

6. Kenai

24 Wedding Welcome Sign Ideas By Theme (Rustic, Vintage, Modern and More) - Love & Lavender (26)Pin

So you’ve picked the perfect wedding sign to welcome your guests to the biggest day of your life (so far). It matches perfectly with the decor, your theme, and your style. You get tons of compliments on it all night.

Aaaaand it’s lying on a table or tacked to a wall somewhere.

Or on the other hand, many choose to get almosttoocreative with this part. (Like “hanging from a tractor” or “on the front of an aquarium” kind of creative.)

See why it’s essential to pay just as much attention to how the sign will be displayed?

We believe that if you get too crazy with it, people will focus on the display more than the sign!

Minted offers quite a few tasteful options that blend seamlessly into the background so you can put the spotlight on the sign. There, you’ll find crisp easels and hanging bars, framing choices with clean lines, romantic ribbon hangers, and more. Check them out. We guarantee you’ll find the perfect mate for your wedding welcome sign.

Wedding Sign FAQ

Where does a wedding welcome sign go?

Your wedding sign should go in the doorway, corridor, hallway, etc., leading to the ceremony room. It should be prominent, but keep in mind, if you choose the right sign, it’ll pop on its own. No need to put it somewhere awkward in the name of visibility.

What are wedding welcome signs made of?

As we’ve demonstrated in our list, wedding welcome signs can be made from just about anything. Wood, acrylic, poster board, foam board, etc. We do suggest, however, that you keep it simple. Again, you don’t want to detract from the rest of your decor.

How much does a wedding welcome sign cost?

Welcome signs can be free (DIYis always an option), or you can shell out $10 for a download and print it yourself. You can also spend a little more on a pre-printed sign. Wooden and acrylic wedding welcome signs are the priciest, ranging anywhere from $20 to over $100.

How big should a wedding welcome sign be?

Needless to say, your wedding sign should be proportionate to the rest of your decor! If you’ve featured huge floral displays around the room, a more prominent welcome sign displayed on an easel or hanging bar is appropriate. A table sign featured in a beautiful frame will work just fine for a smaller venue or with simpler decor touches.

What do you do with your wedding signs after the wedding?

This is an issue many brides and grooms run into when the party’s over. The truth is, many people choose to throw them out. But we say DON’T DO IT!

As we’ve pointed out already, your wedding sign can be a great multitasker. Have your guests sign it instead of a separate wedding guest book, or use it as a medium for displaying your wedding pictures. Either way, it can make for an excellent keepsake.

If you don’t want to do that, consider donating it to another bride-to-be. Or sell it secondhand. Either way, a quick Google search will reveal plenty of buy/sell/trade wedding message boards out there where you can do just that.

All Signs Point To Yes!

What size should a bridal shower welcome sign be? ›

Opt for a welcome sign in a size of around 24x36 inches (60x90 cm) or larger for outdoor venues so that it is easily visible from a distance. These are also suitable dimensions for direction signs. Indoor wedding welcome signs can be slightly smaller; a size of 18x24 inches (45x60 cm) is ideal.

Whose name goes first on wedding signs? ›

In traditional wedding etiquette, the bride's name goes first followed by the groom's name. This is because traditionally it is the bride's parents who are hosting (and financing) the wedding and it is they who are inviting the guests to attend.

Who gives the official welcome at a wedding? ›

The Welcome Toast

Whoever is hosting the event should speak first and should take the microphone as soon as guests have found their seats. This first toast is most often made by the parents (or father) of the bride and should combine both a toast to the happy couple and a welcome message to the guests.

What is the best material for wedding welcome sign? ›

It's incredibly versatile and suits just about any wedding depending on how you design it.

Do I need a welcome sign at a wedding? ›

Of course you can add other signs on top of this, but if we had to just pick 3 things, it would be these: A Welcome Sign, so guests know they're in the right place. Welcome signs also help set the mood for your wedding, and can make sure you don't have any unwanted visitors or party crashers!

What is a good size for a wedding welcome sign? ›

Those are things to consider, but I usually recommend 18x24” - it's large enough to be eye catching, but not so big that it would overwhelm a smaller space. You can always go bigger, too! But 18x24” is what I always recommend to my clients.

What to say on a welcome sign? ›

Family-Centric Messages: For those who treasure family above all, consider welcome sign messages that emphasize this bond. "Where Love Grows" and "Our Nest, Our Story" evoke a sense of togetherness, making guests feel like honorary members of your family.

What is a wedding greeting line? ›

A receiving line is a chance to let all your guests shake hands with everyone in the wedding party and immediate family, while also congratulating the couple. This cultural tradition is one that's still going hard in certain regions, while it's faded into wedding history in others.

What should a wedding announcement say? ›

Typically, wedding announcements include the couple's names, the marriage announcement, the wedding date, and the location of the celebration. For more traditional statements, planner Lisa Gorjestani of Details Event Planning explains that the hosts' names (usually the parents) are also part of the equation.

What should be included in a wedding welcome letter? ›

Weekend Itinerary

One of the most common items to include in a welcome wedding letter is the itinerary for the wedding day or weekend. Make sure to clearly state the event, name of the location, address, time, and most helpful, attire.

What is a wedding welcome reception? ›

A welcome party is a pre-wedding event typically open to all wedding guests. This is a fun social gathering that kicks off the wedding weekend celebrations. While generally less formal and more low-key than a wedding reception, a welcome party does include toasts and the sharing of stories about the couple.
