A wedding welcome sign helps guests recognize the celebration and sets the tone at the entrance. A short message, the couple’s names and the wedding date are often enough. You can add a venue or personal line if it fits the design and remains easy to read.
Before choosing decorative details, decide what your guests need to see first. Then select a layout and lettering style that support those words.
Start With Three Essential Details
A welcome message
Choose a greeting that feels natural to you. “Welcome to our wedding” works for a classic layout; “We’re so glad you’re here” gives the sign a more conversational tone.
Your names
Use first names, full names or another form you prefer. Send the exact spelling and capitalization you want. If names have accents or other special characters, include them in your written instructions.
Your date
Writing the month as a word can prevent the ambiguity of numeric dates for guests from different countries. For example, “September 12, 2027” is clearer than a date that could be read in two different orders.
Four Wording Ideas to Adapt
| Style | Example wording |
|---|---|
| Classic | Welcome to the wedding of Emily & James September 12, 2027 |
| Warm and personal | We’re so glad you’re here Jessica & Brian May 26, 2027 |
| Minimal | Welcome Abigail & Jackson October 23, 2027 |
| Celebration focused | Welcome to our celebration Melody & Matthew October 12, 2027 |
These are sample names and dates, not fixed templates. Replace them with your own details and tell us if you want a different greeting or an additional line.
Match the Wording to the Size
Long messages need more space. If a sign includes full names, the venue, a date and a personal sentence, the layout may need larger dimensions or fewer decorative elements. Avoid shrinking every line just to fit more text.
YardSignPrint’s acrylic welcome sign listings offer 12 × 18, 18 × 24, 20 × 28, 23 × 35 and 30 × 40 inch sizes. Consider the available entrance space, reading distance and the dimensions supported by your own easel or stand.
Choose Background and Lettering Separately
Look at the text against the panel finish when choosing colours. Clear, white, black, frosted or mirror-style backgrounds create different effects, and the venue behind a clear panel can also affect how the lettering appears.
Use the finishes currently offered in your chosen product’s options. A printed gold colour and a mirror-gold acrylic finish are different choices. Check both the background and lettering selections, and include any special request in the design instructions.
Choose Flat Printing or Raised Lettering
The UV printed welcome sign suits flat text, artwork and personalized photo layouts. The 3D welcome sign adds raised lettering; confirm which words will be raised in the mockup.
Both are sign only. Stands, easels, flowers and styling accessories are not included. You can also coordinate the display with a wedding seating chart.
Proofread Before Giving Approval
Check every name, date, line break, colour request and layout detail in the final mockup. Simple personalization is free; dedicated custom design or substantial redesign has a separate fee agreed before that work begins.
After approval, allow 3 business days for a UV printed welcome sign or 5 business days for a 3D sign, plus shipping. Typical transit is 2–4 business days in Canada and 3–6 business days to the USA, with possible customs delays.
Can I include my own wording or reference image?
Yes. Enter your requested text and use the optional upload to share a photo, artwork or reference. Your approved mockup confirms the final layout.
Choose your acrylic welcome sign style and personalize the wording for your celebration.
