Your personalized wedding welcome sign is the first photo your guests will take — and the first confirmation they're at the right celebration. Whether you're looking for a classic "Welcome to Our Wedding" sign at the venue entrance or something more personalized with your names, date, and a custom message, we print every sign on rigid materials that stay flat and polished. Choose a clear acrylic sign catching the light in an indoor ballroom, or a wooden wedding welcome sign standing steady on an easel at an outdoor ceremony. Designed and printed in Florida, each sign ships ready to display — no assembly, no stress.
Choosing the Right Wedding Welcome Sign
Whether you're planning a minimalist garden ceremony or a black-tie ballroom reception, your wedding welcome sign sets the visual tone before a single vow is spoken. Our custom and personalized wedding welcome signs are fully customizable with your names, wedding date, venue details, or a custom message — available in styles ranging from rustic wooden wedding welcome signs and floral watercolor designs to modern typography and clean acrylic.

Material Guide: Acrylic vs. Wood
The most common question we get: which material is right for my wedding? Here's the honest breakdown:
Quick rule of thumb: If your ceremony is outdoors or you're working with a wooden easel, a wood sign photographs cleaner. If your venue has dramatic lighting and you want that floating-text look, a clear acrylic wedding welcome sign is the move.
Size Guide: Which Sign Fits Your Space?
The right wedding welcome sign size depends on where you're placing it and how large your venue entrance is. Here are the two most popular options:
Standard
18″ × 24″
Best for intimate venues, tabletop displays, or escort card tables. If placing on a floor easel, make sure the easel doesn't overpower the sign.
Most Popular
24″ × 36″
The go-to size for grand entrances and ceremony aisles. Commands attention and fits standard full-size floor easels perfectly.
Still unsure? A good rule: the larger your venue entrance, the larger your sign should be. When in doubt, size up — a welcome to our wedding sign is one of the few pieces of décor that earns its space.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a wedding welcome sign be?
For a floor easel at a venue entrance, 24″ × 36″ is the standard — it reads clearly from a distance and photographs well without overpowering the space. For smaller venues, cocktail hour tables, or tighter entryways, 18″ × 24″ works beautifully. If you're unsure, go with 24″ × 36″ — it's the size most couples choose and the one venues and rental easels are built around.
Where can I get a wedding welcome sign printed?
Right here. We print and ship custom wedding welcome signs from our facility in Oldsmar, Florida. Most orders ship within 1–2 business days, and we offer multiple shipping speeds at checkout. If you have a tight timeline before the wedding, reach out — rush options are available.
What styles are available for custom wedding welcome signs?
We carry a wide range of wedding welcome sign ideas — minimalist acrylic, rustic wood, bright floral, chinoiserie blue, botanical, beach-themed, arch script, and more. Every design is customized with your details before printing.
What do you write on a wedding welcome sign?
The most popular wording is simply "Welcome to Our Wedding" followed by both names and the wedding date. You can also include your venue name, a short quote, or a warm phrase like "Welcome to the beginning of forever." All of our signs are fully customizable — just tell us what you'd like it to say.
Whose name goes first on a wedding welcome sign?
There's no strict rule — it's your sign. The most common approach is to go alphabetically by first name, or to match whoever is listed first on the invitation. For traditional ceremonies, the bride's name often appears first. Ultimately, go with whatever sounds best when you read it aloud — that's usually the right answer.
Can I use my wedding welcome sign outdoors?
Yes. Wooden wedding welcome signs are specifically suited for outdoor ceremonies — the matte finish eliminates glare in photos and the rigid construction holds up on a wooden easel even if the wind picks up.
How do I display my wedding welcome sign?
Most couples use a floor easel or wooden tripod stand at the venue entrance. We also carry an easel stand if you need one. For smaller signs, a tabletop easel or leaning against a decorative surface works beautifully.
Can I keep it after the wedding?
Absolutely — and many couples do. A personalized wedding welcome sign makes a meaningful piece of wall art after the big day. It's one of the few décor items from your wedding that's already designed to be displayed long-term.
More than just a sign.
Many couples keep their welcome sign as a keepsake long after the big day — a personalized piece of wall art that's already designed to be displayed. Printed and packed with care in Florida, every sign ships flat, protected, and ready to welcome your guests.
