Wedding Welcome Sign Frequently Asked Questions

Picking wedding decor can be a tricky task as you choose the right style, size, content and placement. Thankfully, we have answered some of the most common ceremony and reception welcome sign questions.

Do You Need a Wedding Welcome Sign?

While a wedding welcome sign is not mandatory, displaying one creates a welcoming atmosphere, ensures guests know they are in the right place and can create a more cohesive event theme. Many wedding welcome signs can double as a reception welcome sign or keepsake for the newlyweds.

What Should Be on a Wedding Welcome Sign?

Welcome signs should clearly show guests they have arrived at the right place. This can be done with warm words, a photo of the couple, or phrases alongside helpful information like the wedding hashtag, date and cell phone guidelines.

What Size Should Your Wedding Welcome Sign Be?

When choosing the right wedding welcome sign size for your event, consider the size of the space it will be in. If it will sit atop a table in a hallway, a smaller size, such as 12 inches by 18 inches, will work. However, if you need to draw more attention to your ceremony location or want to make a statement, choose a larger sign at least 24 inches by 36 inches.
